On Tuesday, Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, reported that Qatar had received a "positive response" from Hamas regarding a proposed framework agreement.
Hamas also announced that it had delivered its feedback on a ceasefire proposal for Gaza, which was formulated by Egypt and Qatar.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the best path forward right now to get an "extended period of calm" is to an agreement of hostages.
"There is a lot of work to be done [to achieve that agreement]," Blinken said.
