The war-is-on-off-on-again developments on Monday left White House officials scrambling to track what was happening and what it all meant.
The flurry of actions underscored how fluid the situation in the region is as President Biden and his team try to broker a deal that they hope will ultimately end the war.
The talks went from high hopes that a deal was close, to a fresh impasse that seemed to leave them on the verge of collapse, to a renewed initiative by Hamas to get them back on track.
Biden is continuing all efforts to thread multiple needles at once, said Mara Rudman, a former deputy Middle East special envoy under President Barack Obama who is now at the University of Virginia's Miller Center.
