Donald Trump Expresses Doubt Over Israel-Gaza Ceasefire Stability
US President voices uncertainty regarding the durability of the recent truce as it reaches its third day.
US President Donald Trump has expressed skepticism about the longevity of the ceasefire between Israel and Gaza, which is now in its third day.
Addressing questions from a reporter, President Trump commented, 'That's not our war, it's their war.
But I'm not confident.' During his brief interaction with the media, the President also noted that Hamas had been significantly 'weakened' and described Gaza as resembling 'a massive demolition site.' The ceasefire, brokered to alleviate tensions following recent hostilities, marks a temporary halt to a cycle of conflict that has repeatedly escalated over the years.
