The Israeli military has killed at least 20 Palestinians in Gaza, as the fate of the US truce proposal hangs in the balance.
Hamas said early on Friday that it is discussing the U.S. ceasefire proposal with other Palestinian groups, and it would submit its response to mediators once the talks conclude.
Earlier in the week it appeared a breakthrough was near with to US president Donald Trump claiming that Israel had agreed to conditions for a 60-day ceasefire with Hamas.
But it looks like no such progress is on the cards between Russia and Ukraine.
To wrap it all together we speak to Toni Waterman is our US correspondent in Washington.
