According to him, Washington was working to ensure that it’s a proposal that can get the parties to an ultimate agreement.

US officials say much of the deal has been agreed upon, but negotiations continue to encounter two major obstacles, namely Israel’s demand to keep its forces in the Philadelphi corridor to maintain a buffer between Gaza and Egypt, and the details for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
According to Mr Miller, these remain the main sticking points.
