Vice President Vance on Tuesday said he is optimistic that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas will last as part of President Trump’s plan for peace in the region, but warned it will take constant vigilance to hold all parties to account.
“I think that everybody should be proud of where we are today, it’s going to require constant effort, it’s going to require constant monitoring and supervision,” Vance said during a press conference a few hours after arriving in Israel.
“I feel very optimistic. Can I say with 100 percent certainty that it’s going to work? No. But you don’t do difficult things by only doing what’s 100 percent certain. You do difficult things by trying. And that’s what the President of the United States has asked us to do.”
Vance spoke while inaugurating the U.S.-led Civilian-Military-Coordination Center that is overseeing adherence to the ceasefire.
