A Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal “now is in sight”, the United States envoy to the United Nations has told the UN Security Council (UNSC) as a new round of talks begins in the Egyptian capital.
Speaking before the council on Thursday, US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield called on Hamas to accept a “bridging proposal” put forward by the US that appears to differ from a previous proposal adopted by the UNSC and agreed to by the Palestinian group.
