“Nothing is going to jeopardize” the ceasefire in Gaza, Trump said.
ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE: President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that a U.S.-backed ceasefire was not at risk of being jeopardized after deadly Israeli strikes in Gaza that local authorities said killed at least 26 people.
“Nothing is going to jeopardize” the ceasefire in Gaza, Trump said.
“They took out, they killed an Israeli soldier, so the Israelis hit back and they should hit back. When that happens, they should hit back,” Trump told reporters.
Both Israel and Hamas have accused each other of violating the ceasefire.
