Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that a second phase of the US-brokered plan to end the war in Gaza is close, but that key issues still need to be resolved.
Under the second phase of US President Donald President Trump's plan, Israel would withdraw its troops further from Gaza as a transitional authority is set up, and an international security force is deployed.
Hamas is meant to disarm and reconstruction should begin.
With questions outstanding over Hamas's disarmament, one senior official has suggested the group is ready to consider freezing or storing its remaining weapons.
The US and other mediators have been applying pressure on both sides to advance to the next stages of Trump's plan.
