In an extensive interview published by Time, Trump gave readers insight into the behind-the-scenes discussions that led to the start of the ceasefire agreement.

Vice President JD Vance said a Knesset vote was an "insult." Secretary of State Marco Rubio planned to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later Thursday.

Several top U.S. officials are in Israel to shore up the Gaza ceasefire and attempt to bring about a permanent end to the war. They acknowledge the next phase poses serious challenges.

In a whirlwind trip to Israel to help salvage Trump's ceasefire deal, Vance weighed in on Netanyahu politics and toured the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

The vice president said that while he can't have "100% certainty that it's going to work," he has "great optimism the ceasefire is going to hold."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been meeting with U.S. military personnel in the Middle East as they monitor the fragile Israel-Hamas ceasefire. CBS News' Holly Williams has more.

Rubio added that the future of governance in Gaza still needs to be worked out among Israel and partner nations but could not include Hamas, adding that any potential role for the Palestinian Authority has yet to be determined.
