Israel, US Discuss Postwar Gaza Amid Hospital Strike Casualties

President Donald Trump revoked the Secret Service protection of former Vice President Kamala Harris, which had been extended by the Biden administration until July 2026, citing a recent threat assessment that found no credible danger to her. This revocation coincides with Harris beginning a 15-stop international book tour. Meanwhile, in the Middle East, U.S. and Israeli officials met in Washington to discuss plans for a postwar Gaza amid ongoing Israeli military operations and no ceasefire in sight. The talks involved U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, focusing on regional security issues including Iran, Lebanon, Syria, and the Israel-Hamas conflict, with a reaffirmation of America's commitment to Israel's security. The meetings occurred amidst international outrage over Israeli strikes on Gaza's Nasser Hospital that killed civilians and journalists, with the Israeli military promising an investigation but providing no clear explanation. Additionally, President Trump held separate discussions with Jared Kushner and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair about postwar Gaza development plans, which critics warn could exploit the region's suffering for economic gains.
