In a high-stakes mission, U.S. Vice President JD Vance landed in Israel on Tuesday, October 21, amid crucial efforts to calm the fragile first phase of the Gaza ceasefire. Washington is keen on pushing both Israel and Hamas toward harder compromises as upcoming talks promise to be even tougher. This visit comes just a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held talks with U.S. envoys Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who is notably the son-in-law of former President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Hamas met with mediators in Cairo, adding more drama to the delicate peace dance. A senior Israeli official revealed that the main aim of Vice President Vance’s visit is "to advance the Gaza talks to the second phase of the ceasefire." Will his visit plant seeds for stronger peace or stir the pot even more? The world watches closely as this political chess game unfolds.
