Vance decided against Israel visit due to new Israeli operation in Gaza: Report
- Vice President JD Vance canceled a planned visit to Israel this week amid Israel's expanded military offensive in Gaza.
- The cancellation followed the start of Operation Gideon's Chariots by Israeli forces and ongoing U.S. White House efforts to negotiate a ceasefire and hostage release deal.
- While Vance's office cited logistical constraints, U.S. Officials indicated his decision aimed to avoid implying Trump administration endorsement of Israel's intensified Gaza operation.
- The Israeli Defense Forces began troop mobilization last Friday for a large-scale offensive expected to displace nearly two million Palestinians in Gaza.
- Vance's decision reflects the Trump administration's unease with Netanyahu's Gaza policy and underscores ongoing diplomatic efforts by envoy Steve Witkoff to achieve a ceasefire agreement.
