"White House Urges Immediate Acceptance of Ceasefire Terms by Hamas"

The White House is urging Hamas to accept the terms of a temporary ceasefire and hostage release deal being negotiated in Cairo, while also calling for a credible humanitarian plan in Gaza. Meanwhile, former Trump organization finance chief Allen Weisselberg pleaded guilty to perjury charges, and the US vice president Kamala Harris is meeting with Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz to discuss the situation in Gaza. The US has also been conducting talks with Hamas and Egyptian mediators to secure a ceasefire in Gaza, despite Israel's decision not to send a delegation.
