The talks comes as negotiations had stalled over the last few months between Israel and Hamas.
President Joe Biden had called on the Israeli government to move forward with a deal, arguing Hamas now poses a much smaller threat to Israel’s security. | Evan Vucci/APIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Joe Biden spoke on the phone Thursday and reviewed a Wednesday response from the Palestinian militant group Hamas to the latest Israeli peace proposal, according to a senior administration official who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity.
The official acknowledged that the response “does not mean this deal is going to be closed in a period of days,” but added that outstanding issues for a final agreement mostly center on implementation. They also said that the White House believes “there’s a pretty significant opening here.”
