White House says no deal between Israel and Hamas yet

Israel and Hamas have not yet reached a deal on a temporary ceasefire, a White House spokesperson said on Saturday night.

This comes after the Washington Post reported that a tentative deal between the two parties was reached, in which at least 50 captives held by Hamas would be released for a five-day ceasefire.

"No deal yet but we continue to work hard to get a deal," Adrienne Watson, spokesperson for the White House's National Security Council, said in a statement.
