Vice President Kamala Harris will meet with Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz at the White House on Monday. According to a White House official, the U.S. is attempting to negotiate a temporary cease-fire agreement so that more humanitarian aid can enter Gaza and hostages can be freed.
However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rebuked Gantz's visit to Washington, reported AP, indicating growing friction in the nation's leadership. An official from Netanyahu's party said Gantz's trip was planned without authorization from the Israeli leader. "Netanyahu had a tough talk with Gantz and told him the country has just one prime minister," said a source to AP.
