U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and senior adviser Jared Kushner are slated to arrive in Israel on Monday, followed by Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday, according to a U.S. official cited by the Times of Israel.

During their visit, the three officials are expected to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior Israeli officials to advance Washington�s ongoing Gaza ceasefire framework discussions.

The upcoming meetings have already affected Netanyahu�s schedule. The Jerusalem District Court on Sunday canceled hearings for the prime minister�s testimony in his corruption trial that were set for Monday and Tuesday, after Netanyahu cited �urgent diplomatic meetings.�

Netanyahu�s legal team told the court that he would also be unable to testify on Wednesday or Thursday due to Vance�s arrival and a swearing-in ceremony for incoming Shin Bet chief David Zini.
