US VP Affirms Gaza Ceasefire Holding Despite Reported Clashes CDA News – October 28, 2025 U.S. Vice President JD Vance stated on Tuesday that the fragile ceasefire in Gaza remains active, despite what he described as “little skirmishes” between Israeli forces and Hamas. The comments come after Israel launched air strikes on Gaza, with the territory’s civil defense agency reporting at least nine fatalities. Israel stated the strikes were a response to an attack on its soldiers by Hamas. “The ceasefire is holding. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t going to be little skirmishes,” Vance said in an interview broadcast on Fox News. “We know that Hamas or somebody else within Gaza attacked an IDF soldier. We expect the Israelis are going to respond — but I think the president’s peace is going to hold.” The truce was brokered earlier this month by President Donald Trump, who declared it would bring “peace in the Middle East.” Vice President Vance was among several senior U.S. officials who traveled to the region last week to reinforce the agreement.
