TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — U.S. Vice President JD Vance arrived in Israel on Tuesday to shore up the fragile U.S.-brokered ceasefire in Gaza that has teetered over the past few days following a burst of deadly violence and questions over how to move forward with the plan for cementing a long-term peace.

On a visit to Israel, Secretary of State Marco Rubio called for an international mission to enforce the Gaza ceasefire. He said up to a dozen nations and organizations would take part, and made clear there's no role for Hamas.
