Vance is seen as an attempt by the Americans to keep the Gaza ceasefire on track, amid reported concerns that the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to collapse the agreement and restart the fighting.

Despite an outbreak of violence on Sunday, the US Vice President said he was optimistic the truce would hold.

And arriving for a meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister in Jerusalem, he said the US was determined to stay the course.

Israel and Hamas have accused each other of repeated breaches of the truce amid outbreaks of violence and disagreements over the pace of returning hostage bodies.

According to the Hamas-run health ministry, Israel has killed at least 87 Palestinians since the ceasefire began.

In central Gaza this morning, drone footage showed a mass burial site for the bodies of unidentified Palestinians handed over by Israel in exchange for the remains of dead Israelis.
