Israeli air strike not expected to affect ceasefire talks, says White House

The United States does not anticipate the air strike by Israel, which killed workers from World Central Kitchen in Gaza, to affect negotiations concerning a ceasefire or the exchange of hostages and Palestinian prisoners, the White House said on Wednesday.

"The ceasefire and hostage negotiations are ongoing," White House national security spokesman John Kirby told reporters in a briefing.

"I wouldn't anticipate any particular impact on those discussions as a result of the strike yesterday."
