What happened on day 547 of the war?

Prime Minister Netanyahu has landed in Washington DC ahead of his meeting with US President Donald Trump.
 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew from Hungary to the United States early Sunday afternoon.

"I am leaving for the United States at the invitation of President Trump," the prime minister said, adding that the two will discuss issues including the hostage crisis, finishing the war in Gaza, and tariffs that were recently imposed by the Trump administration on Israel.

The Israeli air force struck two Hezbollah terrorists operating in an engineering vehicle in southern Lebanon, the military announced Sunday.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that direct talks with the US would be “meaningless,” according to new comments on Sunday. The report at Al-Ain media in the UAE noted that “this came in response to statements by US President Donald Trump, who expressed his preference for this formula in any potential dialogue with Iran.”

The Iranian diplomat said that “direct negotiations with a party that constantly threatens the use of force, in violation of the UN Charter, and adopts contradictory positions are meaningless," Araqchi said in a statement issued by the Iranian Foreign Ministry. He added, "We remain committed to diplomacy and are ready to try the path of indirect negotiations."

The US carried out five strikes on Houthi targets in the port of Hodeidah in western Yemen, Israel's public broadcaster KAN reported early Sunday, citing local Houthi reports.

In late March, Yemeni media claimed there were 24 airstrikes on the Houthi-controlled cities of Sana'a, Saada, and the Al Jawf Governorate in the country's North, with 14 of the strikes being in the Yemeni capital alone.

The IDF on Saturday night tried to reset the narrative of its mistaken killing of 14 Red Cross officials and the wounding of one additional official in what has turned out to be one of the worst IDF attacks on international aid workers in the war.
