This is the best summary I could come up with:
Hamas and Israel must “stay at the table,” United States National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters on Tuesday while stressing that a deal was still possible for the release of 40 hostages in exchange for a six-week pause to the fighting.
Sullivan said all the top US officials are engaged in making this happen, explaining that US President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Middle East envoy Brett McGurk, and CIA Director William Burns have all been heavily involved in this effort.
Sullivan stressed that the “fact that they will not do so says a lot to me about Hamas’s [lack of] regard for innocent Palestinian civilians.” As the US pushed for a deal, it also increased its efforts to bring humanitarian assistance into Gaza.
Once in theater, these vessels and their crews will establish a roll-on-roll-off pier capability that allows ship-to-shore humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza,” Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Maj. Gen Pat Ryder said during a news briefing.
Ryder indicated that the Pentagon’s only efforts in the region will be assisting in the delivery of humanitarian aid.The United Nations used a new land route on Tuesday to deliver food to northern Gaza for the first time in three weeks.
The UN has warned that at least 576,000 people in Gaza – one-quarter of the population – are on the brink of famine.Sullivan said the US was working with Israel to increase the amount of aid “by ground both through Kerem Shalom and through a new crossing, where we had the first trucks get in last night, and we need to see more where that came from.”
