Gantz, a centrist and political adversary in Netanyahu's coalition since the October 7th Hamas attack, seeks to discuss American-Israeli relations, Israel's military campaign, and the release of captives. He plans to meet key U.S. figures, including Vice President Kamala Harris.

U.S.-Israel disagreements are escalating over Gaza's humanitarian situation and post-conflict strategies, as Gantz's party often counters Netanyahu's hardline Cabinet.

Amidst a war that's seen extensive Israeli and Palestinian casualties, Netanyahu's decisions face scrutiny, with some Israel’s citizens accusing him of politically motivated strategies.

Negotiations for a Gaza ceasefire unfold in Egypt before Ramadan. Meanwhile, the U.S. bypassed Israeli restrictions, airdropping aid into Gaza, amid calls for Netanyahu's departure and possible early elections.

As differences within Israeli politics grow, so does public protest and discontent with the government's approach to the war and Hamas negotiations.
