, say that ****** approved a proposal that had been “softened” by Egypt and that ******* would not accept. ******* has not formally commented on the proposal ****** accepted, and details about any potential release of hostages, ************ prisoners or duration of a cease-***** have not been released. 

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said the U.S. only just received a copy of what he said was ******’ “response,” but he did not characterize it further. 

“I can confirm that ****** has issued a response,” Miller told reporters Monday. “We are reviewing that response now and discussing it with our partners in the region. … We continue to believe that a ******** deal is in the best interests of the ******** people. It’s in the best interests of the ************ people. It would bring an immediate ceasefire.”

It is not clear whether ****** responded to a proposal approved by the U.S. Asked which proposal ****** accepted, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters at the White House, “I’m not going to get into that.” 

Kirby said President Biden has been briefed on ******’ response. 

CIA Director William Burns traveled to Cairo to join the talks late last week and is now in Doha, Qatar, as negotiations continue.

Mr. Biden spoke with ******** Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday for about 30 minutes and “updated the prime minister on efforts to secure a ******** deal,” the White House said. But Kirby said that call ended before reports of ******’ response emerged. 

****** was labeled a ********** group by the U.S. and ******* long before ****** launched a surprise ******* on Oct. 7, ******** more than 1,100 and taking more than 250 hostages.

*******’s military warned about 100,000 Palestinians in the eastern part of the Gaza city of Rafah to evacuate Monday ahead of a ground offensive long threatened by ******** leaders. The message was delivered with fliers, phone calls, messages and media broadcasts in Arabic after a weekend that saw hope for a new cease-***** in the seven-month *******-****** war dashed yet again.
