On the 20th local time, according to Israeli media reports, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with visiting U.S. Special Envoy for the Middle East Witkov and Kushner, who had served as a White House consultant. According to the Israeli Prime Minister's Office, US Vice President Vance will also visit Israel on the 21st local time.

High-ranking U.S. officials are visiting Israel at this time, what is their purpose?

Senior US officials went to Israel one after another to "save the ceasefire agreement in Gaza

Assistant researcher of the China Institute for International Affairs:In fact, current U.S. officials are stepping up their visits to Israel, and the purpose is obvious ¨C to save the existing agreement. After all, if the agreement is only implemented for a short period of time, it will be broken, and for the U.S. not only its face will be damaged, but also its control and influence over the Middle East in the eyes of the outside will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the U.S. is keen to calm the incident as soon as possible. This time Kushner and Witkov came to Israel, mainly with the following considerations: first, for the new emergency occurred on 19th (19 Japanese bombs in Gaza hundreds of tons), first, to reassure and handle; second, to promote the implementation of the first phase agreement; third, for the follow-up of the second phase

US solution fails to solve the root causes of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict

Assistant researcher of the China Institute for International Affairs:Although there is a willingness to push the agreement from the U.S. side, more than this time to entrust Kushner and Witkov rather than sending Secretary of State Rubio, this shows that the U.S. has sent key persons with influence on the situation and the ability to bridge differences. However, the "20-point plan" itself was more hasty when it was launched and did not solve the core contradictions and concerns of the parties. So even if the U.S. is now unilaterally trying to push forward, whether a subsequent ceasefire can continue, there are still variables.
