Trump minces no words when asked about maintaining ceasefire in Gaza: ‘Not our war’

President Donald Trump, while signing executive actions in the Oval Office Monday evening, was asked by a reporter whether he was confident that he could maintain the ceasefire in Gaza.

“I’m not confident,” said Trump. “That’s not our war. It’s their war.”

While Trump’s response, which came just hours prior to Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s swearing in, further evidenced his general preference for nations to sort out their own problems, it may have also had something to do with the current pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to lay waste to the remainder of Hamas.

CNN noted that the ceasefire deal has tested Netanyahu’s parliamentary majority, which is already slim.
