Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to meet with Israeli War Cabinet member Benny Gantz on Monday. This meeting comes in the midst of ongoing negotiations between the United States and Israel regarding a proposed cease-fire and hostage-release plan in Gaza.
According to a U.S. official, Israel has indicated its acceptance of a six-week cease-fire and hostage-release proposal. The proposal includes a defined category of vulnerable hostages that would be released as part of the agreement. Negotiators are now awaiting confirmation from Hamas, the ruling party in Gaza, on their willingness to agree to the terms.
