White House 'not there yet' with ceasefire and captive deal, says US national security adviser

US national security adviser Jack Sullivan told NBC News that the White House was working on a ceasefire and captive release deal in Gaza but was "not there yet". 

“We are working actively to try to make it happen. We are engaged deeply with the key players in the region, and there is activity even today,” Sullivan said, according to a transcript released by NBC.

“There will be further conversations and consultations, and our hope is that we can generate a ceasefire and hostage deal, but we’re not there yet.”
