Netanyahu's office said Hamas had "reneged on parts of the agreement reached with the mediators and Israel in an effort to extort last-minute concessions."

In a speech touting his foreign policy legacy, President Joe Biden on Monday said the U.S. was "pressing hard" to close a deal that would see some of the hostages held by Hamas freed in exchange for a period of peace in Gaza.

While President-elect Trump and President Biden jockey for credit for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, some Republicans are wary of the deal and whether it will stick.
