The mediators insisted that all parties are nearer to a final deal after this week’s negotiations. “We’re much, much closer than we were three days ago,” U.S. President Joe Biden told reporters in the Oval Office on Friday.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will head to Israel this weekend in an effort to advance the push for a deal on a cease-fire and hostage release.

“Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken will travel to Israel on August 17 to continue intensive diplomatic efforts to conclude the agreement for a cease-fire and release of hostages and detainees through the bridging proposal presented today by the United States, with support from Egypt and Qatar,” the State Department said in a statement.
