Vance Says He’s Optimistic Gaza’s Cease-Fire Would Hold

Vice President JD Vance met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel in Jerusalem and said that he was optimistic the Gaza cease-fire will hold. Recent flare-ups of violence in Gaza underscored the fragility of the truce.

I think that we have an opportunity to do something really historic. So we’re going to keep working at it. It’s not easy. I never said it was easy, but what I am is optimistic that the cease-fire is going to hold and that we can actually build a better future in the entire Middle East, but that requires some work. So it’s not about monitoring in the sense of, you know, you monitor a toddler, it’s about monitoring in the sense that there’s a lot of work, a lot of good people who are doing that work.

Vice President JD Vance met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel in Jerusalem and said that he was optimistic the Gaza cease-fire will hold. Recent flare-ups of violence in Gaza underscored the fragility of the truce.
