Hostages should be released from captivity Gaza “any moment now,” US Vice President JD Vance says on NBC’s Meet the Press.
Vance says that he sees the ceasefire as the end to the war in Gaza, but “we’re going to have to do work to make sure it stays ended.”
The US won’t put boots on the ground in either Israel or Gaza, says Vance, but forces from US Central Command will “monitor the terms of the ceasefire.”
