Vice President J. D. Vance is scheduled for an "unusual meeting" with top Israeli security officials on October 23rd, 2025, at the Kirya in Tel Aviv, according to a report published this evening by ItayBlumental. Concerns have been raised that Vance may aim to conclude his visit with achievements related to the "Trump outline," potentially at the expense of Israel's security needs. The meeting, occurring tomorrow, is framed as significant due to the potential for the U.S. to push for the "next stage in the deal," as stated by Blumental, who also noted the broader context of ongoing efforts for the swift return of hostages and the U.S. commitment to eradicating Hamas. This development follows recent statements on October 22nd, 2025, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly informed Vice President Vance that Turkey would not be permitted to enter Gaza. Previous reports from October 22nd, 2025, indicated that the Jordanian army would send a representative to an international cease-fire implementation team in Gaza, operating from Kiryat Gat, to facilitate aid delivery and oversee reconstruction efforts.
