Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz in his Jerusalem office, after Waltz arrived in Israel this morning to help advance Washington’s peace plan for Gaza.

Taking part in the meeting are, among others, Acting National Security Council Director Gil Reich, Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon, and US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, Netanyahu’s office says in a statement.

Waltz is set to meet later today with the family of Ran Gvili, the last remaining deceased hostage in Gaza.
