The US hostage deal negotiating team will meet with Biden and Harris as major protests occur in Israel.
Major Israeli cities see protests following the discovery of six hostages' murders in Rafah.
On Monday, President Biden and Vice President Harris will meet with the U.S. hostage deal negotiating team in the White House Situation Room to discuss the murder of six hostages, including American citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, by Hamas on Saturday.
The meeting at the White House is aimed at discussing strategies to achieve a deal that ensures the release of the remaining hostages. The meeting is not open to the media.
On Sunday, thousands of demonstrators gathered in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and other cities, expressing their anger and frustration towards the government for not being able to negotiate a ceasefire agreement that would release the remaining hostages in Gaza.
Up to 500,000 protesters gathered in major Israeli cities, calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take action to bring back the remaining 101 hostages.
Nearly a third of the remaining hostages are estimated to be dead, according to Israel's leadership, as reported by Reuters.
On Sunday, protests continued, but labor leaders urged workers to participate in a one-day strike on Monday.
"Arnon Bar-David, the Histadrut Labor Federation chief, stated on Sunday that the union would receive body bags instead of a deal. He emphasized the importance of reaching a deal, stating that it was more crucial than anything else."
The Histadrut Labor Federation, Israel's largest labor union, represents hundreds of thousands of workers. The one-day strike called for by Bar-David was supported by manufacturers and tech entrepreneurs in the country.
The Israeli military announced the recovery of the bodies of six hostages, including 40-year-old Carmel Gat, 23-year-old Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 24-year-old Eden Yerushalmi, 32-year-old Alexander Lobanov, 27-year-old Almog Sarusi and 25-year-old Ori Danino, who were found in a tunnel in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
The start of a polio vaccination campaign in Gaza led to conflict in the West Bank.
According to military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, the six hostages' bodies have been returned to Israel.
The Israeli health ministry spokesperson stated that a forensic analysis of the bodies revealed that the hostages were "killed by Hamas terrorists with multiple shots at close range," within 48-72 hours.
In Jerusalem, protesters demonstrated outside Netanyahu's residence after learning of the news, while in Tel Aviv, protesters blocked the main highway and held flags with images of the murdered hostages.
Reuters reported that police arrested approximately two dozen Israelis nationwide during the protests.
Netanyahu expressed shock after the recovery of the hostages' bodies.
Netanyahu stated that the person who kills abductees does not seek a deal. We are facing a challenging day. The entire nation's heart is torn.
"The murder of six of our abductees left me, as well as all citizens of Israel, in shock."
Since Oct. 7, when Hamas initiated attacks on Israel, a war has been ongoing in the Middle East. At the start of the conflict, an estimated 257 Israeli hostages were trapped in Gaza. Currently, 101 hostages remain in Gaza, with 66 of them believed to be alive, including four American citizens.
