A US-brokered ceasefire in Gaza appears to have survived its first major test as Israel and Hamas affirmed their commitment to the deal after two Israeli soldiers were killed in the enclave on Sunday,

Sami Shaban says his relatives were among 11 killed when Israeli tank fire struck their minibus a week after the U.S.-brokered ceasefire took effect.

Vice President JD Vance said a Knesset vote was an "insult." Secretary of State Marco Rubio planned to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later Thursday.

Vice President JD Vance urged "patience" as Israel waits for the return of all the hostages' remains from Hamas.

The US vice-president's visit comes after a flare-up of violence between Israel and Hamas that threatened to derail the 12-day-old truce.

As a Christian, this region of the world means a great deal to me,' Vance said at the start of whirlwind trip to salvage the Israel-Hamas ceasefire.

Late Tuesday, Israel’s military said the remains of two more Gaza hostages had been returned, where they would be identified.
