Israel Gaza: Biden hopes for ceasefire by next week
Political
US President Joe Biden has said he hopes to have a ceasefire "by next Monday" in the Israel-Gaza war.
His comments come amid reports of some progress reached in ongoing negotiations involving Israel and Hamas representatives in Qatar.
"We're close," he said on Monday. "We're not done yet. My hope is by next Monday we'll have a ceasefire."
Other elements of a possible deal, including the duration of the ceasefire and Hamas' demand for a full withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, are still under discussion.
