U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance landed a short while ago (Tuesday) at Ben Gurion Airport for a brief two-day visit to Israel.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice Yariv Levin was present to welcome him as he stepped off the plane, as well as Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter.

Following his arrival, Vance is scheduled to travel to Kiryat Gat, in southern Israel, where a headquarters for the US-led multinational force for overseeing the implementation of the Gaza ceasefire is located.
