The US opposes the invasion on humanitarian grounds, potentially straining relations between the allies.

Biden also urged progress in delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza and reiterated his stance against Hamas.

The call lasted approximately an hour, with both leaders agreeing that Hamas must accept the latest offer in negotiations.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is scheduled to visit Israel as part of a Middle East tour.

Qatar, a key intermediary in the Israel-Hamas negotiations, urged both parties to show more commitment and seriousness in the peace talks.

Qatar, which hosts Hamas' headquarters, has been instrumental in previous negotiations, including the brief ceasefire in November.

However, Qatar expressed frustration and is reassessing its role in the current negotiations.

An Israeli delegation is expected in Egypt to discuss the latest proposals, and Hamas will also send a delegation.

Qatar's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Majed Al-Ansari, made these comments in interviews with Haaretz and Israeli public broadcaster Kan. Al-Ansari, a Palestinian official, criticized both Hamas and Israel for prioritizing political interests over civilians' welfare in the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

He announced that talks between the two sides have stalled, with each side holding firm to their positions.

An Egyptian delegation reportedly discussed a new vision for a prolonged ceasefire with Israeli officials, who are open to the idea of a permanent ceasefire as part of a second phase of a deal.

However, Israel has refused to end the conflict until it defeats Hamas.

The second phase would follow the release of civilian and sick hostages, and would involve negotiations for the release of soldiers.

The text discusses ongoing negotiations between Hamas and Israel aimed at achieving a ceasefire and releasing hostages.

Senior Palestinian prisoners are expected to be released, and a reconstruction process will begin.

The negotiations include a six-week ceasefire proposal and the release of 40 civilian and sick hostages held by Hamas in exchange for freeing hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.

World leaders, including President Biden, have urged Hamas to release their citizens immediately.

Hamas has recently released videos of hostages as a push for concessions.

The pressure is on for both parties to reach a deal to prevent an Israeli attack on Rafah, a city in Gaza where over half of its population is seeking shelter.

Israel has massed military forces near Rafah, raising global alarm.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas believes an invasion is imminent and warned of potential consequences at the World Economic Forum in Saudi Arabia.

The White House has stated that Israel has assured them they will not invade Rafah, a city in Gaza considered Hamas' last major stronghold, until the US has had a chance to express concerns.

Israel aims to destroy Hamas' military and governing capabilities in Rafah.

Aid groups warn that an invasion would worsen the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where hunger is prevalent.

On Sunday, 400 tons of aid arrived in Israel from Cyprus, but it wasn't clear how or when it would reach Gaza.

World Central Kitchen announced it would resume operations in Gaza on Monday, after a four-week suspension following the killing of seven of its aid workers by Israeli military drones.

The text reports that the organization planning to deliver supplies to Gaza has 276 trucks prepared to enter through Rafah crossing and is considering using the Ashdod port.

The conflict in Gaza was initiated by Hamas' attack on southern Israel on October 7, resulting in the deaths of over 1,200 civilians and the capture of about 130 people, according to Israeli authorities.

In response, Israel launched an assault on Hamas, resulting in over 34,000 deaths, mostly women and children, according to Gaza health authorities.

Israel accuses Hamas of civilian casualties due to militants embedding in residential and public areas, and claims to have killed at least 12,000 militants.
