In the US, Gantz intends to advocate the legitimacy of the military operation in the Gaza Strip, and the promotion of a security arrangement in Lebanon as well as discuss efforts to reach a deal for the release of the hostages, according to his office.

He will also hold talks on preserving US aid to Israel and strengthening the strategic alliance between the two countries.
… A White House official confirmed that Gantz will meet Harris and that the talks are expected to span topics including reducing Palestinian civilian casualties, securing a temporary ceasefire, the release of hostages held in Gaza, and increasing aid to the territory.

Benny Gantz: 'The entire nation of Israel is united in the quest for military victory' https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-789791

Hamas is refusing to provide any info/assurances about the hostages until a cease fire takes place. Israel doesn’t want to proceed with talks till it gets that info.

I don’t follow internal Israeli politics, hopefully another DUer will add more info.
