Hello and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.
We're coming to you live from London.
I'm James Menendez.
Two weeks after a deal was struck to end the fighting in Gaza and exchange hostages and prisoners,
all the questions surrounding what happens next are still largely unanswered.
Who'll monitor the ceasefire?
When will essential supplies in the quantities they're needed resume?
Who'll run Gaza in the weeks and months to come?
Where will all those who've lost their homes live?
And so on and so on.
The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in Israel today,
although his visit and that of Vice President JD Vance seem to be more about making sure the Israeli government sticks with President Trump's plan.
Speaking outside a new coordination centre set up to oversee the truce,
he said that Washington remained optimistic about the prospects for peace.
The outcome needs to be a Gaza where people have jobs and a life and a better future and people aren't thinking about,
how do I kill Israelis?
How do I attack Israel?
Because if we can't reach that point, then there's not going to be a peace.
There's not going to be an enduring peace.
