US vice president urges Netanyahu to uphold Gaza ceasefire
US Vice President JD Vance has urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “give the ceasefire a chance”
WASHINGTON, United States (MNTV) – US Vice President JD Vance has urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “give the ceasefire a chance,” as part of Washington’s push to ensure the fragile Gaza truce holds.
According to Israel’s Channel 12, Vance made the remarks during his visit to Israel, calling on Netanyahu to maintain the ceasefire and allow the US-backed agreement to proceed. Officials from both nations said Netanyahu appeared receptive, expressing his desire to see the deal succeed.
Vance reportedly told the Israeli leader to “give the deal a chance and give us time to make things happen.” Sources familiar with the discussion said Netanyahu responded positively, signaling openness to the US message on upholding the truce and advancing to the next stages of the agreement.
The talks also covered broader plans for Gaza’s future. An American official said Washington is seeking support from Arab states to establish an international force in Gaza and a peace council tasked with raising funds for the Strip’s reconstruction.
Vance’s visit marks another step in the Biden administration’s diplomatic efforts to stabilize the region. The success of the ceasefire — and its subsequent phases — remains a key priority as the US works to coordinate international backing for Gaza’s governance and rebuilding.
