JD Vance Is Optimistic About the Cease-Fire in Gaza

Vice President JD Vance remained optimistic that the cease-fire deal in Gaza would hold during his trip to Israel on Tuesday, but gave few details of how the Trump administration plans to move toward a lasting peace.

We are one week into President Trump’s historic peace plan in the Middle East, and things are going, frankly, better than I expected that they were. You have Israelis and Americans working hand in hand to try to begin the plan to rebuild Gaza, to implement a long-term peace and to actually ensure that you have security forces on the ground in Gaza — not composed of Americans — who can keep the peace over the long term. So we’ve got a lot of work left to do. This is going to take a very, very long time. Our warning to Hamas is very straightforward: It’s that Hamas has to disarm. It’s that Hamas has to actually behave itself. I don’t think it’s actually advisable for us to say this has to be done in a week because a lot of this work is very hard. It’s never been done before. And in order for us to give it a chance to succeed, we’ve got to be a little bit flexible.
