15 August 2024 07:07 BST
US President Joe Biden will publicly blame Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if Israel rejects a Gaza ceasefire proposal set to be discussed in the upcoming talks later on Thursday, according to senior Haaretz analyst Amos Harel.
The Israeli defence establishment believes a yes-or-no proposal will be offered to both Hamas and Israel, Harel said.
If Netanyahu says no, Biden will, for the first time, publicly hold him responsible.
The Biden administration may also "take steps" against far-right government ministers who oppose the deal to increase the pressure, Harel added.
