US Vice President JD Vance spent the night at King David Hotel in Jerusalem, and is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem this morning at 10 a.m.

Vance and his wife Usha will be received by Netanyahu and his wife Sara, according to the Prime Minister’s Office.

The two leaders will hold an expanded meeting at 11 a.m. that will include their aides, according to the PMO.

Top White House Middle East advisers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were with Vance at the US-Israel Gaza ceasefire coordination center in Kiryat Gat yesterday, and will likely be present at the meeting at Netanyahu’s office, which will focus largely on the ceasefire in Gaza.

The White House has yet to put out a schedule for the day.

Vance will head to the President’s Residence afterward for a meeting with President Isaac Herzog at noon.
