"US Vice President JD Vance is in Israel with the task of steadying a delicate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Vance has held talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and top US envoys to push negotiations into the next stage and secure the release of remaining hostages. Vance has said that the ceasefire is going "better than expected" as he appealed for patience for the return of the remaining deceased hostages. He also insists that no US troops would be deployed to Gaza."
"The visit comes after a weekend surge in violence that has cast doubt on the durability of the truce, with each side accusing the other of breaching the terms. At the same time, the UN World Food Programme said the ceasefire needs to last for people to be fed, with too little aid currently entering Gaza. Here is a round-up of developments in Israel, Gaza and the wider Middle East on Tuesday, October 21:"
