U.S. envoys met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday aiming to corral Israel and Hamas to get the Gaza ceasefire plan back on track after an explosion of violence over the weekend that threatened to derail the week-old truce.

The body of a hostage which was handed over by Hamas on Monday night has been identified as that of Major Tal Haimi, 41, the Israeli military has said.

An Israeli security official said the transfer of aid into the territory is halted "until further notice," the first major test of the ceasefire.

Jerusalem Post Editor-in-Chief Zvika Klein spoke with Fox News Digital about the American news media's coverage of the Israel-Hamas war, singling out The New York Times' reporting.

A US-brokered ceasefire in Gaza appears to have survived its first major test as Israel and Hamas affirmed their commitment to the deal after two Israeli soldiers were killed in the enclave on Sunday,

Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner say they reached the Gaza ceasefire deal after Witkoff and Hamas negotiator Khalil al-Hayya connected over shared pain. Both Witkoff and al-Hayya had lost sons.
