U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that "meetings are being held regarding the agreement between Hamas and Israel - I hope the technical issues will be resolved quickly." Rubio added that the agreement is "still not the end of the war, more work is needed. It's impossible to establish a non-Hamas government in the Gaza Strip within three days." He also said: "I hope to see the hostages released quickly. Hamas has agreed in principle to what will happen the day after the war, we'll soon know if they're serious."
