Israel said it has resumed a truce with Hamas in Gaza after heavy fighting over the weekend, with the sides accusing each other of breaching a deal brokered by US President Donald Trump.

White House mediators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Israel on Monday and quickly went into meetings with officials aimed at solidifying the ceasefire. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said US Vice President JD Vance was due on Tuesday.
