TL;DR
Vice President Kamala Harris called for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza ahead of her meeting with Israeli Cabinet minister Benny Gantz, urging for the release of hostages and increased aid to Gaza. Israel delayed sending a negotiating team to Cairo for talks due to Hamas' refusal to release the names of hostages still alive. The Israeli military completed a two-week raid in Gaza City and is focusing on providing humanitarian aid while maintaining its goals of freeing hostages and dismantling Hamas.
