After the killing of 6 hostages by terrorists in Gaza, US President Joe Biden made a statement in which, in particular, it is said:
"We are very close to an agreement, but I don't think Netanyahu is making enough effort," Reuters quoted Biden as saying.
Earlier, The Washington Post reported that the US may refuse to lead negotiations on a cease-fire in Gaza if the parties do not reach a final agreement.
Netanyahu insists Israel must retain control of the corridors, but Hamas demands a complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza.
