"Netanyahu and Gantz Clash as VP Harris Mediates Gaza Ceasefire Talks"

Disagreements between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his top political rival, Benny Gantz, have widened cracks in the wartime government, with Gantz heading to the U.S. for talks with officials despite Netanyahu's disapproval. The visit comes amid deep disagreements over alleviating Palestinian suffering in Gaza, with the U.S. airdropping aid after Palestinians were killed while rushing for food. Netanyahu's popularity has declined since the war began, and his government faces criticism for its handling of the conflict and post-war plans for Gaza. Talks for a Gaza cease-fire have restarted, while fighting continues with Israeli airstrikes killing more than 30 people, including women and children.
