Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is set to meet tomorrow (Tuesday) with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, as well as Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, according to Israel Hayom. He will reportedly also meet with the families of hostages.

The United States has been pushing for a diplomatic resolution in Gaza and Lebanon, with many viewing the death of Yahya Sinwar as an opportunity to secure a hostage deal. However, Israeli sources have said they see no sign of Hamas becoming more flexible on the terms they want, terms Israel considers unacceptable.

US envoy Amos Hochstein is in Lebanon today and speaking with Lebanese leaders. He said he had a "constructive" meeting with Lebanese Parliamentary Speaker Nabih Berri, though some Arab sources believe the US has offered nothing new.
