The White House on Tuesday said it is "discussing" a 60 day ceasefire proposal in Gaza that Hamas has agreed to.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said US officials are engaging with the proposal put forward by Arab mediators Qatar and Egypt.
Hamas accepted the 60 day ceasefire on Monday but Israel has yet to respond. It has accelerated its genocide in Gaza.
