"Kamala Harris Engages in Cease-Fire Diplomacy Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict"
Vice President Kamala Harris is set to meet with Israeli Cabinet official Benny Gantz, who is visiting Washington despite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's disapproval. Harris has called for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza, urging Israel to increase aid flow and open new border crossings. The White House has been advocating for a ceasefire deal, with Israel essentially agreeing and placing the onus on Hamas to come on board. Gantz aims to strengthen ties with the U.S., bolster support for Israel's war efforts, and push for the release of Israeli hostages. The U.S. has begun airdrops of aid into Gaza, following deadly clashes as Palestinians sought food from an Israel-organized convoy.
