The Israel-Hamas ceasefire entered a third day Tuesday, while US President Donald Trump said he doubted the fragile deal would hold.

“Gaza is like a massive demolition site,” Trump said as he signed a flurry of executive orders following his inauguration.

Asked whether he believed the two sides would maintain the truce, Trump said: “That’s not our war; it’s their war. But I’m not confident.”

Trump had claimed credit for the three-phase ceasefire agreement announced ahead of his return to the White House by Qatar and the United States, following months of fruitless negotiations under his predecessor Joe Biden.

    Technically, Israel already broke the cease fire. A sniper killed a kid in Rafa and then opened fire on an adult trying to retrieve the body.

    Link is here, but warning, it’s mostly video and nobody needs to see that shit:

        I mean, have we reached a point where Israel killing a kid in Gaza is no longer news?

        They did their job. They made sure the current administration knows about it and does their owners’ bidding.

          Israel killing a child in Gaza and violating the ceasefire in a single day is huge news.

          If Hamas killed an Israeli child during the ceasefire the front page of Reuters would have a spot left.

          No major newspaper besides Aljazeera has given it the time of day so far.

            Nooo, it’s happened every time. And, since no one cared, they haven’t stopped.

      Well, you see, Israel soldiers have to kill a certain number of children per week or else they’ll go feral. Obviously, these minimum necessary killings aren’t counted against the ceasefire. /s

      Israel has never followed a ceasefire if the requirements are “stop the killings”. They just slow the killings
