Trump administration pushing for extension to first phase of Gaza ceasefire deal


U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy to the Middle East says he's now pushing for Israel and Hamas to extend phase one of the Gaza ceasefire deal.

The next round is supposed to see the release of all remaining hostages and the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from the enclave.

The first phase is set to expire at the start of March.
