During a conversation with reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday night, President Donald Trump affirmed that the Gaza ceasefire was still active, saying, “Yes, it is.”
He elaborated, “We want to make sure that it’s going to be very peaceful with Hamas and, as you know, they’ve been quite rambunctious.”
“They’ve been doing some shooting, and we think maybe the leadership isn’t involved in that. You know, some rebels within. But either way, it’s going to be it’s going to be handled properly. It’s going to be handled toughly but properly,” Trump continued.
Trump’s remarks followed reports that Hamas had fired an antitank missile at an IDF engineering vehicle, killing two Israeli soldiers—an act that constituted a breach of the ceasefire.
In the wake of the attack, Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu ordered the suspension of humanitarian aid to Gaza in retaliation for the violation.
Shortly afterward, Israel announced that it would resume sending humanitarian supplies to Gaza.
Although Hamas has released the 20 surviving hostages it was holding as part of Trump’s Gaza plan, the group has failed to return the bodies of those who were killed, claiming it does not know the whereabouts of most of them.
