Officials in Washington fear Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could end the Gaza ceasefire and return to the war against Hamas, The New York Times reports.
There is growing worry in the administration that Netanyahu could actively act against the deal, the report says, citing several unnamed US officials. Top American officials including Vice President JD Vance and envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are planning to pressure Israel not to undermine the accord as they visit the country, it says.
The report also says that that are talks with Turkey on sending a team specializing in body retrieval to help locate missing bodies of hostages in Gaza, as Hamas has claimed it is having difficulty locating the 15 still in the Strip.
