US Vice President JD Vance will meet with IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir and Defense Minister Israel Katz on Thursday.

It is extremely rare for a foreign leader - even the US president (or a vice president as close to him as Vance) - to hold a working meeting with the Israeli chief of staff.

The vice president has also been invited to the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv to watch live drone footage of Gaza.

Following the meeting of US Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner with the heads of Military Intelligence and the IDF Planning Directorate, this underscores how deeply the Americans are involved in advancing Trump's plan, including in their discussions with senior military and political officials.

Additionally, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio plans to travel to Israel later this week or over the weekend, Axios reported, citing US and Israeli officials.

This is a developing story.
