World leaders are urging Hamas to accept Israel's latest offer of a truce, which reportedly includes a 40-day ceasefire. United States President Joe Biden is expected to speak with the leaders of Qatar and Egypt as he pushes for a deal aimed at a Gaza ceasefire and the release of some hostages held by Hamas militants.
"What we believe is that now is the time for Hamas to take this deal. It is on the table. It is time to, is way past time to get these hostages home. It is way past time to get to a ceasefire. And we need to make sure we continue to get that humanitarian aid. As we know, it is a dire situation in Gaza. I just don't have anything to share beyond what the secretary spoke to.
