The United States claims a ceasefire and hostage release deal may be near, urging Hamas to accept a bridging proposal that Israel has agreed to.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield emphasized the need for Hamas to accept the bridging proposal, indicating Israel's acceptance but pointing to Netanyahu's territorial demands as a key hurdle.
She stated that the continued violence in Gaza has led to massive Palestinian casualties and a severe humanitarian crisis, stressing the urgency of reaching an agreement.
The US envoy asserted that the situation requires a united council approach, pressing for leveraging international influence to facilitate Hamas's acceptance of the proposal.
