Weitkoff and Kushner are in Israel to discuss the next phase of the Gaza agreement.

American envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Israel this morning, Monday, on the eve of the arrival of U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, following a day of Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip after Tel Aviv accused the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) of violating the agreement.

Israeli Channel 12 reported that the American envoys are holding a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for committing war crimes in Gaza.

The Haaretz newspaper quoted informed sources as saying that the visit aims to prepare for the Vice President's arrival and discuss files related to the next phase of the American plan in the region.

The newspaper noted that the American envoys had left the Middle East about a week ago following the signing of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, in addition to the brief visit made by President Donald Trump to both Israel and Egypt.

According to an Israeli source who spoke to the newspaper, the envoys are expected to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss files related to Vance's visit, primarily the second phase of Trump's plan, which includes deploying an international peacekeeping force in the Gaza Strip, the withdrawal of the Israeli army, and the disarmament of Hamas.

The newspaper indicated that the American administration intends to present a draft resolution to the United Nations Security Council in the coming days regarding the formation of the international force in Gaza, which includes defining the nature of its mandate with expected support from France, Britain, and several Arab countries.

In a related context, the newspaper reported that American officials confirmed last week that Hamas has not violated the ceasefire agreement so far, despite Israeli claims accusing the movement of stalling in delivering the remains of some prisoners.

In a related matter, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aty called on Monday for Israel and Hamas to adhere to the implementation of the Sharm El-Sheikh agreement regarding the Gaza Strip.

Yesterday, Sunday, Israeli air and artillery strikes on Gaza resulted in the martyrdom of 44 Palestinians, with claims of Hamas violating the agreement by attacking Israeli forces in Rafah in the southern part of the strip, which the movement denied.

Abdel Aty also emphasized the importance of starting as soon as possible to implement early recovery and reconstruction plans in Gaza, as part of a comprehensive vision that preserves the rights of the Palestinian people.

Early today, the American president announced that the ceasefire is still in effect in the Gaza Strip, noting that Hamas leadership was not involved in any violations, and blamed "some rebels within the movement," as he described them.

Last March, both the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation adopted a plan for the reconstruction of Gaza that is expected to take 5 years to implement and cost about $53 billion.

On October 10, the ceasefire agreement came into effect, according to Trump's plan, which, in addition to stopping the war, calls for a gradual withdrawal of the Israeli army, mutual release of prisoners, and immediate entry of aid into the strip.
