随着以色列和哈马斯的战争跨越七个月的标志，重新谈判正在进行，以确保被恐怖组织劫持的人质获释，同时以色列部队继续准备明显入侵加沙南部城镇拉法。
白宫称世界应该呼吁哈马斯接受人质提议
国家安全顾问杰克·沙利文强调，美国正在“紧急和不懈地”努力达成人质协议，但周一没有取得任何重大进展。
沙利文指出，上周五，他会见了美国人质的家人，“他们知道总统在这件事上有多努力。”
关于人质谈判的现状，沙利文求助于爱尔兰耶稣受难日协议的设计者。
参议员乔治·米切尔说过一句非常著名的话，“谈判是1000天的失败和一天的成功。”而现在，我们正处于前一天，而不是后一天，”他说。
“如果哈马斯只是释放妇女、受伤和年老的人质，他们都是无辜的，明天就可能实现停火。以色列提出了一个前瞻性的停火和人质协议。世界应该呼吁哈马斯回到谈判桌前，接受协议，”沙利文说。
美国意识到美国医生被困在加沙
美国国务院周一表示，它知道有报道称美国医生被困在加沙，并一直在与以色列合作，重新开放拉法口岸，以便美国公民和其他外国公民能够离开。
首席副发言人韦丹特·帕特尔说:“我可以说，我们知道这些关于美国公民医生和医疗专业人员目前无法离开加沙的报道。”“正如我以前说过的，我们不控制这个过境点。这是一个极其复杂的情况，对美国公民的安全有着非常严重的影响。但我们将继续昼夜不停地与以色列政府和埃及政府合作，解决这个问题。”
他补充说，“拉法是外国公民安全离开的通道，这就是为什么我们继续希望看到它尽快开放。”
美国国务院表示，它没有仍然被困在加沙的美国人的估计数字，但迄今为止，它已经帮助1，800名美国公民和合法永久居民离开加沙。
“不幸的是，这不是美国控制的过境点，但我们将继续与以色列政府和埃及政府昼夜不停地合作，尽我们所能确保拉法的开放。…我们需要看到拉法尽快开放，”帕特尔说。

Israel-Gaza live updates: US aware of American doctors trapped in Gaza
As the Israel-Hamas war crosses the seven-month mark, renewed negotiations are underway to secure the release of hostages taken by the terrorist organization, as Israeli forces continue to prepare for an apparent invasion of the southern Gazan town of Rafah.
White House says world should be calling on Hamas to accept hostage proposal
National security adviser Jake Sullivan stressed the U.S. is working "urgently and relentlessly" to get a hostage deal in place, but did not have any major progress to share Monday.
Sullivan noted that he met with the families of American hostages this past Friday, and that "they know how hard the president is working on this."
On where the hostage negotiations stand currently, Sullivan turned to the architect of the Good Friday agreement in Ireland.
"Sen. [George] Mitchell said quite famously, "'Negotiations are 1,000 days of failure and one day of success.' And right now, we're in the former days rather than the latter day," he said.
"[T]here could be a cease-fire tomorrow if Hamas simply released women, wounded and elderly hostages, all innocents. Israel put a forward-leaning proposal on the table for a cease-fire and hostage deal. The world should be calling on Hamas to come back to the table and accept a deal," Sullivan said.
US aware of American doctors trapped in Gaza
The State Department on Monday said it was aware of reports that U.S. doctors were trapped in Gaza, and that it's been working with Israel to reopen the Rafah gate so U.S. citizens and other foreign nationals can leave.
"I can say that we're aware of these reports of U.S. citizen doctors and medical professionals currently unable to leave Gaza," principal deputy spokesman Vedant Patel said. "As I said before, we don't control this border crossing. And this is a incredibly complex situation that has very serious implications for the safety and security of U.S. citizens. But we're continuing to work around the clock with the government of Israel, with the government of Egypt, to work on this issue."
He added, "Rafah is a conduit for the safe departure of foreign nationals, which is why we continue to want to see it get opened as swiftly as possible."
The State Department said it does not have an estimate of Americans still trapped in Gaza, but that it's helped 1,800 U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents to depart Gaza so far.
"Unfortunately, this is not a border crossing the United States controls but we are continuing to work around the clock with the government of Israel, with the government of Egypt on whatever we can do to make sure that Rafah gets open. … We need to see Rafah open as soon as possible," Patel said.
