JD Vance speaks in Israel following Gaza ceasefire flare-up | ITV News

US Vice President JD Vance arrived in Israel on Tuesday to shore up the fragile ceasefire in Gaza that has teetered over the past few days, following a burst of deadly violence and questions over how to move forward with the plan for cementing a long-term peace.

Also Tuesday, the chief Hamas negotiator said the group remains determined to implement the ceasefire agreement to end the two-year war, as the remains of another hostage were transferred to Israel on Monday.

Vance, whose visit comes after the arrival of two top White House envoys, is expected to be in the region until Thursday.

Accompanied by his wife Usha Vance, the vice president will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
