Israel has not formally commented on the proposal Hamas accepted, and details about any potential release of hostages, Palestinian prisoners or duration of a cease-fire have not been released.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"newsletter_signup \">\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-newsletter-widget embed--float-none embed--size-large embed--type-iframe\" data-ads=\"{\" wordcount=\"\">\n<\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p>State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said the U.S. only just received a copy of what he said was Hamas&#8217; &#8220;response,&#8221; but he did not characterize it further.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can confirm that Hamas has issued a response,&#8221; Miller told reporters Monday. &#8220;We are reviewing that response now and discussing it with our partners in the region. \u2026 We continue to believe that a hostage deal is in the best interests of the Israeli people.

It would bring an immediate ceasefire.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It is not clear whether Hamas responded to a proposal approved by the U.S. Asked which proposal Hamas accepted, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters at the White House, &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to get into that.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kirby said President Biden has been briefed on Hamas&#8217; response.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CIA Director William Burns traveled to Cairo to join the talks late last week and is now in Doha, Qatar, as <span class=\"link\">negotiations<\/span> continue.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday for about 30 minutes and &#8220;updated the prime minister on efforts to secure a hostage deal,&#8221; the White House said.
