US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said he is hopeful Hamas will accept Israel's latest proposal for a Gaza truce and hostage release deal.
He called the offer extraordinarily generous, as a Hamas delegation discussed it with mediators in Cairo, Egypt.
After weeks of deliberations, a senior Hamas official was quoted as saying the organisation had no major issues with the proposal.
It reportedly involves new wording on restoring calm, meant to satisfy Hamas's demand for a permanent ceasefire.
The Israeli government is coming under growing pressure from its global allies and the families of the hostages to agree a deal.
