US Vice President Vance Reaffirms No Troop Deployment to Gaza Amid Ceasefire Talks

U.S. Vice President JD Vance, during a diplomatic visit to Israel, reaffirmed President Donald Trump's consistent stance that American troops will not be deployed for ground combat operations in Gaza. Vance emphasized that the U.S. role remains limited to strategic coordination and supervisory support for the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, underscoring the administration's preference for peace through partnership and dialogue rather than direct military intervention. He toured key command centers overseeing ceasefire enforcement and engaged in high-level discussions with Israeli military leaders and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to ensure continued adherence to the truce. While acknowledging challenges, Vance expressed cautious optimism about the ceasefire's stability and highlighted the ongoing diplomatic efforts to establish a multinational stabilization force in Gaza, which would eventually take over security responsibilities from Israeli forces. The U.S. administration is focused on training vetted Palestinian police and implementing border security measures, with any international security presence requiring mutual agreement with Israeli authorities. These actions reflect the Trump administration's broader peace proposal and are accompanied by President Trump's calls for regional allies to support enforcement should Hamas violate the truce.
