Trump's meetings with the Israeli leader have brought no apparent breakthrough for a ceasefire in Gaza, where the bloodshed continues unabated.
Edward Djerejian, the former U.S. ambassador to Israel, says several sticking points may be delaying a potential Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement. Djerejian joined "CBS News 24/7" with his take.
Israel – with US assistance at the very end – had pulled off a staggering strike on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. Operation Rising Lion had reasserted Israeli deterrence, garnered international admiration, and handed Netanyahu a signature moment of strength both domestically and on the world stage.

Hamas announced on Friday that it had “submitted a positive response” to a proposal for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, opening the path toward a deal to halt the conflict after months of failed efforts.
