"US-Israel Tensions Rise as Gantz Visits Amid Gaza Conflict"

Tensions within Israel's leadership are growing as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rebukes top Cabinet minister Benny Gantz's unauthorized trip to the US for talks with officials, amid friction over Gaza aid and postwar plans. Gantz aims to strengthen ties with the US, bolster support for Israel's war, and push for the release of Israeli hostages. Meanwhile, Israel and Hamas are negotiating a possible cease-fire and hostage release deal, while growing opposition to Netanyahu's handling of the war has led to protests and calls for early elections in Israel.
