A KAN News poll found that Israelis are split on ceasefire talks, Gaza aid, and Netanyahu’s leadership amid ongoing war.
"Special Envoy Witkoff plans to return to the region in the coming days to work out either a way to extend Phase I or advance to Phase II," the spokesperson said.

"Hamas had also put forward positions for a permanent ceasefire that are totally unacceptable," Netanyahu said in his statement.
If fighting is renewed, it will be done with Trump in the White House, who will not constrain Israel in the way Biden did.
"We are willing to give a chance of a few days, but we won't let it drag on indefinitely," Israeli officials told The Jerusalem Post.
"We demand to abandon the Witkoff framework and return to the Trump framework – all together or unleash hell on Hamas," the Tikva Forum said in a statement.
This comes as the 42-day hostage-ceasefire deal expired on March 1, with Israel saying it is ready implement US envoy Steve Witkoff's proposal.
