Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of “reneging” on parts of the deal, under which Israel would withdraw from some areas of Gaza and obtain the return of hostages.

The Biden administration called for a final push before the president leaves office, with many seeing the Trump inauguration as an unofficial deadline.

The White House national security communications adviser John Kirby said he is "confident" a deal will be implemented on Sunday despite Israeli claims that Hamas has backtracked on deal.
