JD Vance has said monitoring the ceasefire in Gaza is not like monitoring a toddler, as he met with Israeli president Benjamin Netanyahu.

The vice president and Mr Netanyahu spoke to the media during Mr Vance’s visit to Israel on Tuesday (22 October).

Vance told reporters: “This entire ceasefire process to get some of the critical infrastructure of the ground, it is not easy, I never said it was easy, but what I am is optimistic that the ceasefire is going to hold and that we can build an entire better future in the Middle East.
