The United States continues to work with Israel, Egypt, and Qatar on extending a humanitarian pause in Gaza, and President Joe Biden will remain deeply engaged in efforts to expand the pause and free hostages, a White House spokesperson said after a truce expired in the early hours of Friday, and the war resumed.

Hamas has failed to produce a list of hostages to enable further extension of pause in Gaza, the spokesperson said.
