Nevertheless, the Vice President made it clear that no U.S. troops would be deployed to Gaza.

Vice President JD Vance issued a warning to Hamas: keep your end of the peace deal or be obliterated.
Vance warned Hamas on Tuesday while speaking to reporters in southern Israel at the new Civilian Military Cooperation Center (CMCC), which plays a critical role in the historic ceasefire deal, according to The Daily Wire.
“The terms of the 20 point plan that the president put out there is very clear. It’s supported not just by Israel, by, but by all of our Gulf Arab friends. It’s that Hamas has to disarm. It’s that Hamas has to actually behave itself and that Hamas, while all the fighters can be given some sort of clemency, they’re not going to be able to kill each other, and they’re not going to be able to kill their fellow Palestinians,” Vance said.
“Right now, where I stand, I feel confident that we’re going to be in a place where this peace lasts, where it’s durable, and if Hamas doesn’t cooperate, then, as the United States has said, Hamas is going to be obliterated,” Vance added.

Still, Vance said one thing is for certain: No American troops will be deployed to Gaza. Period. “I think it’s important for Americans to know a couple of things. Number one: there are not going to be American boots on the ground in Gaza,” Vance said. “The President of the United States has made that very clear. All of our military leadership has made that very clear.”
“What we can do is provide some useful coordination,” he added, saying that the United States would continue to act as a mediator between the Gulf Arab states, Egypt, Turkey, and Israel.
“The only real mediators are the United States of America. That’s the role that we’re going to play [that] I think the American people should be proud of,” Vance said. “But they should know that there are going to be no American boots on the ground in Gaza.”

The vice president’s warning came after President Donald Trump issued one of his own, saying that if Hamas did not act in accordance with the agreement, the terror organization’s end would be “fast, furious and brutal.”
But according to Fox News, Vance scolded the media over its apparent “desire to root for failure,” saying that any setbacks or hiccups did not necessarily mean the end of the deal.
“Every time something bad happens and every time that there’s an act of violence, there’s this inclination to say, ‘Oh, this is the end of the ceasefire. This is the end of the peace plan.’ It’s not the end. It is, in fact, exactly how this is going to have to happen when you have people who hate each other, who have been fighting against each other for a very long time. We are doing very well. We are in a very good place,” Vance said before praising the team working to implement the Gaza deal.
