WASHINGTON: The United States is in discussions with mediating partners Egypt and Qatar about the contours of a final “take it or leave it” deal that it plans to present to Hamas and Israel in the coming weeks, the Washington Post reports.
The US newspaper cited a senior Biden administration official, who spoke to it on condition of anonymity.
The official told the Post that if Israel and Hamas fail to accept the proposal, it could mark the end of the US-led negotiation effort.
“You can’t keep negotiating this. This process has to be called at some point,” they were quoted as saying.
