US Vice President JD Vance is expected to visit Israel on Tuesday, days after US President Donald Trump skipped the country during his Middle East trip last week, Channel 12 news reports.
Vance will attend the inauguration mass of Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican later today.
The report of the expected visit comes as a new round of negotiations for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal between Hamas and Israel began in Qatar yesterday after the Israeli military launched its new expanded offensive in the Gaza Strip.
