ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE — US President Donald Trump says “nothing” will jeopardize the ceasefire in Gaza, but adds Israel “should hit back” if its soldiers were killed.
Gaza’s Hamas-run civil defense agency says Israel carried out airstrikes Tuesday despite the ongoing ceasefire, after the Israeli military accused Hamas of attacking its troops and violating the US-brokered truce.
“They killed an Israeli soldier. So the Israelis hit back. And they should hit back,” Trump tells reporters on Air Force One.
