US envoys urge Netanyahu to move into Gaza ceasefire's second phase

Top U.S. envoys have met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging him to advance the ceasefire in Gaza. The meeting included President Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff and Middle East adviser Jared Kushner. Details were not disclosed. The U.S. wants the Trump-brokered ceasefire deal to progress, but Netanyahu faces pressure to wait for Hamas to return the remains of a final hostage. The reopening of the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt is a key signal of the second phase. Meanwhile, an Israeli strike killed two Palestinian teens in Gaza. The ceasefire began on Oct. 10.
