The Israel-Hamas ceasefire entered a third day Tuesday, while US President Donald Trump said he doubted the fragile deal would hold.

“Gaza is like a massive demolition site,” Trump said as he signed a flurry of executive orders following his inauguration.

Asked whether he believed the two sides would maintain the truce, Trump said: “That’s not our war; it’s their war. But I’m not confident.”

Trump had claimed credit for the three-phase ceasefire agreement announced ahead of his return to the White House by Qatar and the United States, following months of fruitless negotiations under his predecessor Joe Biden.

    Well, you see, Israel soldiers have to kill a certain number of children per week or else they’ll go feral. Obviously, these minimum necessary killings aren’t counted against the ceasefire. /s

    Israel has never followed a ceasefire if the requirements are “stop the killings”. They just slow the killings
