White House spokesperson John Kirby says Washington is “hopeful” a deal can be reached but nothing is finalised.
“But there’s still work to be done, and nothing is done until it’s all done, so we’re going to keep working on this,” Kirby told reporters.
He added that President Joe Biden’s administration is calling for international law to be respected in Gaza and an increase of humanitarian assistance to the enclave, including through “humanitarian pauses” in the fighting.
The US has not called for a ceasefire in Gaza.
