US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said “nothing” would jeopardise ceasefire in Gaza, but added Israel “should hit back” if its soldiers were killed.
Gaza’s civil defence agency said Israel carried out air strikes Tuesday despite the ongoing ceasefire, after the Israeli military accused Hamas of attacking its troops and violating the US-brokered truce.
“They killed an Israeli soldier. So the Israelis hit back. And they should hit back,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One.
