A reporter asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Vice President JD Vance during Vance's visit this week to Jerusalem whether the U.S. pressuring Israel to make a peace deal with Hamas makes it an American "vassal state or protectorate.
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."
Vice President JD Vance urged "patience" as Israel waits for the return of all the hostages' remains from Hamas.
The comments, in response to a largely symbolic measure, came at a key juncture for President Trump’s Gaza peace plan.
