Vance also cautioned that “there is currently no existing security infrastructure to guarantee Hamas’s disarmament. ” The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is not in danger of collapsing, US President Donald Trump told reporters on Monday,

President Trump and Israel said the Gaza ceasefire is still in effect after an exchange of fire with Hamas this past weekend.

Vice President JD Vance is expected to visit Israel with a US delegation sometime this week, amid the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

One body Hamas returned to Israel as part of the ceasefire deal "does not match any of the hostages," the Israel Defense Forces said on Wednesday.

The Palestinian militant group Hamas has released the last surviving hostages it was holding in Gaza, in exchange for almost 2,000 Palestinian detainees and prisoners, under the terms of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire.

The U.S.-led ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is under strain as both sides exchange attacks, with President Trump stating the situation is under review.

A Gazan man accused of being involved in the October 7 attacks on southern Israel two years ago has been arrested in Louisiana, according to justice officials.

IDF said that two Israeli soldiers were killed and two wounded in a deadly Hamas attack near Salah A-Din Road in southern Gaza on Sunday morning. Israeli army added that Hamas operatives emerged from a cross-border tunnel and fired RPGs at IDF excavators.
