Washington is cautiously optimistic about the ongoing ceasefire negotiations in the Gaza Strip, according to John Kirby, communications director of the US National Security Council, on Friday.
Kirby said "constructive" talks took place in Cairo on Thursday and would continue over the weekend. He dismissed reports suggesting the negotiations were "near collapse."
He did not provide details but emphasised the importance of maintaining momentum in the coming days. "We want to see that same sort of momentum continue here over the next couple of days, but I don't think it would be useful for me to get into the details of it," he said.
