16 January 2025 13:03 GMT
White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby told NBC that reports suggesting the ceasefire agreement could fall apart are false.
While acknowledging that some details still need to be finalised, he expressed confidence that the issues raised by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would be resolved, allowing the agreement to take effect on Sunday.
Kirby also stated that both President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump share the same objective: ending the war and securing the release of captives.
