Breaking news from the White House reveals that the vice president is scheduled to meet with Israel's war cabinet minister on Monday in Washington. This meeting holds significant importance as the U.S. is advocating for a temporary ceasefire to facilitate the entry of more aid into Gaza and the release of hostages still held by Hamas. Additionally, there is a pressing need to increase humanitarian aid to the region, making these crucial topics for discussion during the upcoming meeting.
The meeting is expected to address the day-after planning for Gaza, an issue that the vice president has been actively engaged in since the October 7th attacks. This planning has been a top priority for her, and she is likely to delve deeper into this matter with the Israeli war cabinet minister. The urgency of the situation is underscored by the looming deadline tied to the hostage deal, with efforts being made to finalize the agreement before Ramadan.
The vice president's engagement with Benny Gantz, the Israeli war cabinet member, is seen as an opportunity to advance key discussions and strategies. In addition to this meeting, the vice president is also set to meet with National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan during his visit to Washington.
