Special Envoy Kushner stated that Israel and Hamas are transitioning to a peacetime posture. There is a good chance the Gaza peace deal between Israel and Hamas will remain intact, US Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday.
Vice President JD Vance is in Israel to address challenges in the Gaza ceasefire. And, the demolition of the East Wing of the White House has drawn criticism and raised questions about ethics.
Vice President JD Vance said that he's confident in "durable" peace amid the ceasefire, warning Hamas will be "obliterated" if it doesn't cooperate.
Eyal Zamir added that the return of the remains of the 13 hostages still held in Gaza "must be a prerequisite before moving to the next phase. ” The IDF considers the disarmament of Hamas a necessary condition for moving to the next stage of the US-brokered Gaza deal,
Vance also cautioned that “there is currently no existing security infrastructure to guarantee Hamas’s disarmament. ” The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is not in danger of collapsing, US President Donald Trump told reporters on Monday,
Tensions have been growing over Israeli claims that Hamas has been slow-walking the return of hostages' bodies.
