Despite the positive developments, there were criticisms regarding the nature of Trump's comments during the summit. Observers noted that his remarks could be perceived as disrespectful, particularly in a serious diplomatic context. Additionally, Meloni's visible discomfort during the event raised questions about her stance on Trump's approach to diplomacy.

There were discrepancies regarding the effectiveness of the ceasefire agreement. Reports indicated that Israel accused Hamas of failing to return all hostages as stipulated, leading to aid blockages. The situation remains fragile, with ongoing tensions affecting the implementation of the peace deal.
