The US has "every expectation" Israel will accept a ceasefire proposal that would begin with a six-week cessation of hostilities in Gaza if Hamas takes the deal, a senior White House official has said.
The three-part plan unveiled by President Joe Biden last week would also see a "surge" of humanitarian aid, as well as an exchange of some hostages for Palestinian prisoners before a permanent end to the war.
The proposal, however, has encountered vocal opposition from some members of Israel’s government.
The negotiations come as fighting continues in Rafah, which came under intense Israeli airstrikes over the weekend.
