During his visit to Israel, Vance expressed optimism about maintaining the ceasefire in Gaza.

Jin10 data reported on October 22 that U.S. Vice President Vance, visiting Israel, expressed optimism about a ceasefire protocol in Gaza on Tuesday, but emphasized that the situation requires “continuous monitoring and supervision” from the U.S. and its allies. According to U.S. and Israeli officials, Secretary of State Rubio also plans to visit Israel later this week or over the weekend to advance the implementation of the protocol. Vance emphasized that although there are still conflicts and sporadic incidents on the ground, the ceasefire is generally being maintained effectively. He said, “When both sides have been hostile and hate each other for a long time, the situation must advance in this way. We are doing very well now, and the situation is good.” Vance also stated that the U.S. will not force Israel to accept foreign troops into Gaza, nor has a clear deadline been set for disarming Hamas.
