The United States has urged for the finalization of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas amidst ongoing conflict in Gaza, following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's refusal to make concessions during indirect negotiations. US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller highlighted the urgent need for a deal, emphasizing that both Israeli and Palestinian populations are suffering from the war's consequences. The US plans to collaborate with Egypt and Qatar to facilitate this agreement in the coming days. This call comes after the recovery of six hostages, found dead after being captured during Hamas's October 7 attack, which has intensified domestic pressure on Netanyahu, who insists he will not yield to public demands. Meanwhile, UN human rights chief Volker Turk has called for an investigation into the execution of the recovered captives. The situation remains tense as protests continue in Israel, with citizens expressing anger over the government's handling of hostage negotiations.
