"US envoy Tom Barrack met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Monday, as Washington steps up pressure on Israel to advance to the second phase of the Gaza peace agreement. Footage shows Barrack and Netanyahu shaking hands before holding talks. According to Israeli media, Barrack conveyed a clear message from US President Donald Trump, underlining Washington’s push to move negotiations forward. The meeting comes amid growing American diplomatic pressure on Israel to commit to the next stage of the ceasefire framework. Israel and Hamas signed a peace agreement that came into effect on October 10 under the 20-point 'Trump Plan' which includes an immediate cessation of hostilities, the release of all hostages, both living and deceased, and allowing the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza. Hamas has so far handed over the remains of 27 Israeli hostages, with one body still outstanding at the time of publication."
