US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to meet Israeli Prime Minister on Monday, as intensive talks on a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages continue.
The United States, Egypt and Qatar have been acting as mediators in a series of indirect negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
The latest two-day round of talks in Qatar concluded on Friday without a major breakthrough, but negotiations are set to resume in Cairo this week.
One unresolved issue remains the fate of the border between Gaza and Egypt.
Netanyahu has insisted that the Israeli military must continue to control what Israel terms the Philadelphi corridor, a strip of land separating Gaza from Egypt.
Hamas, on the other hand, has demanded Israel’s full withdrawal from the area as a condition for peace, more than 10 months since the October 7 attacks sparked the conflict.
