Gaza ceasefire deal closer than ever, Biden says
Joe Biden has said he is "optimistic" that a Gaza ceasefire deal can be reached.
"We are closer than we’ve ever been," the US president said following the latest round of talks, adding he was sending his secretary of state to Israel to continue the "intensive efforts to conclude this agreement".
However, a senior Hamas official told the BBC there had been no progress and mediators were "selling illusions".
Israel said it "appreciates the efforts of the US and the mediators to dissuade Hamas from its refusal to a hostage release deal".
