The US is holding talks with Hamas over the hostages held in Gaza, the White House has confirmed.
Washington has until now avoided direct engagement with Hamas, as there is longstanding US policy against having direct contact with groups it lists as terrorist organisations.
The White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Israel had been consulted prior to the talks.
News of the talks were first reported by Axios, which said the two sides were discussing the release of US hostages as well as a wider deal to end the war.
