US Vice President JD Vance, speaking at a press conference in Israel, emphasized that security for both Israelis and Gazans must be prioritized before determining Gaza's future governance. Vance declined to set a deadline for Hamas to disarm, echoing US President Donald Trump's stance and warning of serious consequences if Hamas fails to comply with the current deal. He clarified that his visit to Israel was planned well in advance and not a reaction to recent violence. Vance also stated that the governance structure for Gaza remains flexible and will be shaped by future developments on the ground, with immediate efforts focused on security, rebuilding, and humanitarian aid.
