The United States has stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not impeding a ceasefire and hostage deal, as negotiations continue to progress. A senior administration official emphasized that if the US believed Netanyahu was hindering the process, they would clearly express that sentiment. However, at this point, the US sees advancements in the discussions.
The official highlighted that in the event of minimal progress in a month's time, the US may adopt a different stance. It was clarified that both Israel and Hamas must reach agreements on specific aspects before a deal can be finalized. Currently, neither party is causing delays in the negotiation process.
