The prospects of a ceasefire in Gaza are appearing more tangible, according to the latest remarks from U.S. officials. White House spokesperson John Kirby shared the ongoing developments during an interview with Fox News, highlighting a sense of cautious optimism.

Kirby indicated that the Israeli side has acknowledged progress, albeit emphasizing previous instances where negotiations fell through at the last moment. Despite the promising trajectory, the U.S. remains reserved in celebrating too soon.
