Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country was working on a new ceasefire plan with the White House, but that details were still being sorted out.

Mr Netanyahu, who was speaking on the eve of meeting US president Donald Trump, has come under heavy international pressure to end the war, especially during the ongoing offensive in Gaza City.
