Despite the efforts made, the United States announces that a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas is far from being reached. The White House national security adviser says his country is seeking a deal that would also include \u201chostages\u201d still in Hamas hands. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The United States is \u201cactively\u201d working on a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, but \u201cwe\u2019re not there yet,\u201d White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Sunday. . \u201cThere will be further discussions and consultations, and we hope to be able to reach a ceasefire with an agreement on the hostages, but we are not there yet,\u201d said this adviser to US President Joe Biden, on NBC, according to a transcript of the interview published by the network.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very involved with key players in the region\u201d<\/h2>\n

\u201cWe are actively working to make this happen,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are very involved with key players in the region, and there is activity even today.\u201d Kuwait\u2019s Emir Meshal al-Ahmad al-Sabah on Sunday called for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip at a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit, after more than 13 months of war between Israel and the Islamist movement Hamas in the Palestinian territory.<\/p>\n

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said from Jerusalem on Sunday that there were \u201cindications\u201d that progress could be made toward a deal. \u201cWhat I can say is that there are signs that we might see a greater degree of flexibility from Hamas due to circumstances, including the Lebanon deal, but not only that,\u201d he said at a press conference. The Israeli government \u201chas the desire to move forward on this subject\u201d, added the minister.<\/p>\n

On NBC, Jake Sullivan also welcomed the truce between Israel and Hezbollah which came into force on Wednesday, \u201ca huge step forward for the Middle East\u201d. \u201cWe must protect it and ensure that it is fully respected,\u201d said this advisor. \u201cOur goal is to hold on to these critical first days for the ceasefire, when it is most fragile,\u201d Jake Sullivan told NBC. The day before Saturday, the Israeli army announced, however, that it had carried out several airstrikes against Hezbollah positions in Lebanon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe firmly believe that the agreement in Lebanon now opens\u201d the door to a ceasefire in Gaza, Joe Biden\u2019s envoy to the region, Amos Hochstein, declared on Wednesday. The Hamas attack on Israeli soil resulted in the deaths of 1,207 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP count based on official data, including hostages killed or died in captivity. The military wing of Hamas released a video on Saturday of an Israeli-American hostage, Edan Alexander, who asks Israelis and Americans to pressure the government for his release. This video is \u201ca cruel reminder of Hamas\u2019 brutality,\u201d Jake Sullivan said on Sunday<\/p>\n

Hamas announced on Sunday a new death toll of 44,429 in the Palestinian territory since the start of the war with Israel more than a year ago, with at least 47 people killed in the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
