05:12 Min

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has yet to agree to the latest US-backed ceasefire proposal for Gaza, casting fresh doubt on the prospects of ending the three-year conflict. This, after US President Donald Trump announced the deal last week, touting it as a "major milestone" that would involve a phased disarmament of militant groups and a complete Israeli pull-out. Hamas had earlier stressed that it would only hand in its weapons if Israel withdrew first. Blake Sifton reports from Tel Aviv.
