US Vice President JD Vance expressed confidence that the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas will continue, despite recent violations and retaliatory actions. Vance acknowledged ongoing skirmishes, including a recent attack by Hamas on Israeli troops in Rafah and subsequent Israeli military responses. He emphasized that such incidents do not undermine the broader peace achieved in the region. The situation remains tense, with Hamas refusing to return the body of an Israeli hostage and releasing footage related to the remains of another hostage.
