US VP Vance: Gaza ceasefire holding despite Israeli strikes
"The ceasefire is holding. That doesn't mean that there aren't going to be little skirmishes here and there. We know that Hamas or somebody else within Gaza attacked an (Israeli military) soldier. We expect the Israelis are going to respond, but I think the President's peace is going to hold despite that," U.S. Vice President JD Vance told reporters.
