US Vice President JD Vance is in Israel to strengthen the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, emphasizing the need for all parties to look towards the future.
"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 would,"
Vice President Vance stated during a press availability in southern Israel. When asked about Turkey's role in enforcing the ceasefire and restoring order to Gaza, given their support for Hamas, Vance replied:
"We think everybody has a role to play here. Some of that's going to be financial, some of that's going to be in reconstruction, some of that's just in communication with the various parties."
However, a crucial statement was made by VP Vance: 'If Hamas doesn't cooperate, then it will be obliterated'. This visit aims to solidify the fragile peace between Israel and Hamas.
