Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office releases footage of him and his wife Sara greeting US Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance at his office in Jerusalem.

The Netanyahus receive the Vances in a small and somewhat stiff ceremony with a four-person IDF band and honor guard, then exchange pleasantries.

The two couples then sit for a brunch before the working meetings begin, which will focus largely on the ceasefire in Gaza.
