Speaking to ABC News on Sunday morning, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the US had “every expectation” that Israel would “say yes” to the proposed ceasefire deal if Hamas accepts.
“We’re waiting for an official response from Hamas,” he said, adding that the US hopes that both sides agree to start the first phase of the plan “as soon as possible”.
During that initial six-week pause in the fighting, Mr Kirby said the “two sides would sit down and try to negotiate what phase two could look like, and when that could begin”.

This feels like a fuckin merry-go-round. And everyone knows how it’s going to turn out. The US and/or Hamas will roughly agree on something that could lead to a truce, and then Bibi will throw it out the window for some made-up reason, or just because he’s feeling obstinate on that particular Tuesday.
