Trump says Gaza ceasefire ‘should hold’

US President Donald Trump said that the Gaza ceasefire deal he helped finalise “should hold” and warned there “will be a lot of problems” if it does not.

Earlier this week, he said he was “not confident” the deal would last until the end of its three phases. When asked to elaborate on those comments, Trump told reporters: “It’s a very tricky place.”

Trump also praised his Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, for securing the ceasefire agreement.

“That deal would have never been made without Steve,” Trump said, claiming that “both sides” liked him.
