Discussions on progressing on the Trump-brokered ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza are frozen until Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's meeting with the US leader, an Israeli source told KAN.
The source further told KAN that the Israeli leader is reportedly awaiting his meeting with Trump, and that "the situation regarding the Gaza Strip is not at all clear."
The latest discussions on the next phase of the Trump-brokered deal, which includes the disarmament of Hamas, ended without any further decisions, the report added.
The next part of the ceasefire deal also includes a more significant withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and the beginning of its reconstruction.

The US and Israel are also engaged in talks on the disarmament of Hezbollah, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying on Friday that the US hoped talks between Lebanese authorities and Israel would lead to a strong Lebanese government and see the Hezbollah terrorist group disarmed.
The committee overseeing the Hezbollah-Israel truce in Lebanon focused on issues to help prevent renewed war if a year-end deadline to disarm Hezbollah is not met. Friday's meeting was set in the southern Lebanese coastal town of Naqoura.
The KAN report also comes days after Trump's end-of-year address on Wednesday evening, during which the US leader claimed there was peace in the Middle East for the first time in 3,000 years. Trump said that he ended the Gaza war and "secured the release of hostages, both living and dead," but did not mention the last remaining hostage, Ran Gvili.
