The meeting at Vance's hotel in Jerusalem also included the vice president's wife, Usha Vance, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and other relatives of victims of the Hamas-led terror attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

Earlier in the day, Vance met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog, with the US vice president describing the period following the conclusion of the ceasefire-for-hostages deal with Hamas as "days of destiny" that are "changing the face of the Middle East."
