The Israel-Hamas ceasefire entered a third day Tuesday, while US President Donald Trump said he doubted the fragile deal would hold.

“Gaza is like a massive demolition site,” Trump said as he signed a flurry of executive orders following his inauguration.

Asked whether he believed the two sides would maintain the truce, Trump said: “That’s not our war; it’s their war. But I’m not confident.”

Trump had claimed credit for the three-phase ceasefire agreement announced ahead of his return to the White House by Qatar and the United States, following months of fruitless negotiations under his predecessor Joe Biden.

    Israel killing a child in Gaza and violating the ceasefire in a single day is huge news.

    If Hamas killed an Israeli child during the ceasefire the front page of Reuters would have a spot left.

    No major newspaper besides Aljazeera has given it the time of day so far.
