President Isaac Herzog met with US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz at the President's Residence in Jerusalem. Israel's Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon was also present at the meeting. The president thanked Waltz for his central role in leading diplomatic efforts that contributed to the Security Council's decision regarding Gaza's future, and the two discussed the importance of implementing the decision and President Donald Trump's peace plan, including the obligation to return the abducted Staff Sergeant Ran Guaili. "In my assessment, we will soon see announcements regarding the 'Peace Council' headed by President Trump," said Waltz.
