The White House said on Thursday that Israel "signed off" on a proposal for a phased ceasefire introduced by US envoy Steve Witkoff.
“Israel signed off on this proposal before it was sent to Hamas,” White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told reporters.
“I can also confirm that those discussions are continuing, and we hope that a ceasefire in Gaza will take place so we can return all of the hostages home," she added.
