Two top US envoys meet Netanyahu after weekend’s violence in Gaza

# Two of the United States’ top envoys to the Middle East met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday after weekend violence threatened to wreck a fragile US-brokered ceasefire in Gaza. The sit-down came as Israel reopened the Kerem Shalom border crossing into Gaza for aid shipments, after the entry point was closed briefly on Sunday following the killing of two Israeli soldiers. In response, Israel carried out dozens of strikes targeting Hamas across Gaza, accusing the militant group of violation of the truce, an accusation it denied.
