Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz thanked President Biden after he signed into law a foreign aid package that includes billions of dollars in military funding for Israel and humanitarian aid for the Gaza Strip. Israel’s war cabinet is meeting Thursday to discuss negotiations for a hostage deal ahead of a planned Israeli incursion in Rafah, where much of Gaza’s population is displaced, said an Israeli official speaking on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter. For months, talks have failed to reach a Gaza cease-fire and hostage release deal.
