The meeting comes as Israel faces growing international pressure, including from its allies, to end the war in Gaza and allow more aid into the territory - here's the latest from Gaza
Israel launched its war in Gaza following Hamas's 7 October 2023 attack, in which it killed about 1,200 people and took 251 back to Gaza as hostages
Israel's massive military offensive has killed at least 61,158 Palestinians since then, according to Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry
The Israeli government does not allow international news organisations, including the BBC, into Gaza to report freely
The Israeli military says it already has operational control of 75% of the Gaza Strip.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's reported plan would see Israel's military move to occupy the entire territory – going into areas where more than two million Palestinians are now concentrated.
The Israeli military has previously held back from some areas, including parts of central Gaza, because of an assumption that there are living hostages held there.
Some 87% of Gaza is under Israeli military control or subject to evacuation orders, according to the UN.
