The ongoing ceasefire negotiations in Gaza remain unresolved, with the fate of thirteen hostages still uncertain. The United States is pushing to advance its peace plan for Gaza, but faces disagreements with its partners over priorities such as disarmament of Hamas and the future governance of the region. Recent political developments in Israel, including a preliminary vote on West Bank annexation, have further complicated relations with the United States. As discussions continue, both sides are weighing which compromises to make in order to move forward with the next phase of the Gaza deal.
