Washington, May 30 -- The White House said on Thursday that Israel has signed off on a 60-day Gaza ceasefire proposal as the Israeli army continues its military actions in the war-torn area.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed at a press briefing that U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and U.S. President Donald Trump "submitted a ceasefire proposal to Hamas that Israel backed and supported."
"Israel signed off on this proposal before it was sent to Hamas. I can also confirm that those discussions are continuing, and we hope that a ceasefire in Gaza will take place so we can return all of the hostages home," said Leavitt.
"I won't comment further, as we are in the midst of this right now," she added....
