This is the best summary I could come up with:
A senior administration official said the cohort of countries tried to initiate a joint statement earlier during the war but were unable to come to an agreement due to different views of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The deal on the table that would bring a ceasefire to Gaza simply with the release of women, wounded, elderly, and sick hostages is ready to go, a senior administration official said, and Hamas has rejected that.
According to the statement, the leaders said they emphasize the deal on the table which would bring an immediate and prolonged ceasefire, facilitate a surge of necessary humanitarian assistance and lead to a credible end of hostilities.
The US deal was a key topic in the last conversation President Biden had with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about a week ago, and the Israelis fully agreed to that proposal, the official said.
Hamas leaders on the outside say all sorts of things, but the decision-makers are inside Gaza, living deep underground and holding the hostages, the official said.
"The statement is the result of hard work carried out by the families of the abductees in recent months, in front of decision-makers from all over the world, with the aim of bringing all of them home, those who are alive for rehabilitation and the murdered for burial.
