US pushes plan to disarm Hamas & rebuild Gaza

US Vice President JD Vance warned Wednesday of the tough task ahead in disarming Hamas and building a peaceful future for Gaza, as Washington sought to reassure its ally Israel over the next steps in its ambitious ceasefire deal.

JD Vance, US Vice President said  "If we do this the right way, it could create a model I think that could lead to other peace agreements all over the world. Because it shows what's possible when you're willing to think outside the box and actually put some elbow grease to get it done."

Vance met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the second day of a trip to Israel in support of the US-brokered plan to end the fighting, recover hostages and, eventually, rebuild the devastated Palestinian territory.
