Despite the ceasefire in Gaza, diplomatic activity in the Middle East has not subsided. Recently, high-ranking US officials have been visiting Israel one after another. Washington says that their visit is to ensure that the US-brokered ceasefire agreement in Gaza does not break down. The main goal of the US is now to prevent the Israeli government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from launching a new military operation in Gaza. The ceasefire came into effect on October 9, ending two years of bloody conflict.
