Witkoff, Kushner meet with Netanyahu in Israel as clashes test Trump's Gaza peace deal

The tenuous Gaza ceasefire brokered by President Trump staggered through its gravest test but held on Monday, after Israeli strikes followed an attack that killed two soldiers. Local officials said 45 people died as nearly 169 tons of bombs fell, shattering a seaside cafe and sending hospitals scrambling. Hamas denied involvement in soldiers' deaths; both sides accused the other of violating the deal, then recommitted as the skies fell silent. Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner returned to Israel, with aid moving through Kerem Shalom and talks to focus on aid access and keeping the truce intact.
