The Biden administration is actively engaged in negotiations to secure a ceasefire and hostage agreement in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. CIA Director Bill Burns is set to travel to Paris to meet with Israeli, Qatari, and Egyptian officials to discuss the situation. The talks are focused on the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.

Sources familiar with the administration's plans have revealed that there is a sense of urgency to reach an agreement before the start of Ramadan on March 10th. If a deal is not reached by then, Israel has indicated that it will launch an invasion of Rafa, where approximately 1.5 million Gazans are currently seeking shelter.

The Biden administration is working diligently to prevent further escalation of the conflict and to bring about a peaceful resolution. The involvement of key stakeholders such as Israel, Qatar, and Egypt underscores the importance of finding a diplomatic solution to the crisis.
