The US State Department spokesperson, Matthew Miller, refrained from commenting on Egypt's two-day Gaza ceasefire proposal but emphasized that the United States is open to exploring different types of arrangements. During a briefing on Monday, Miller stated that discussing specific proposals publicly would not be constructive.
Miller highlighted a previous instance in November when the US pursued a shorter pause, resulting in the release of some hostages. He reiterated that the primary objectives of the US in the negotiations are to secure the safe return of the hostages and to bring an end to the conflict.
