White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan briefed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior officials on Sunday following his visit to Saudi Arabia, where he held constructive meetings focused on a vision for an integrated Middle East, according to a U.S. statement.

Sullivan spoke with Netanyahu about "the potential that may now be available for Israel, as well as the Palestinian people" and "proposed a series of concrete measures to ensure more aid surges into Gaza."

Sullivan expressed the U.S.'s support for "Israeli efforts to find and bring to justice Hamas's leaders in Gaza" and "reaffirmed the need for Israel to connect its military operations to a political strategy that can ensure the lasting defeat of Hamas, the release of all the hostages, and a better future for Gaza," the statement added.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said during a meeting with heads of evacuated councils in Israel's north, at the border with Lebanon, that this week, a plan for the residents of the north will be approved in the government.

In the meeting, which was held in the prime minister's office in Jerusalem, Netanyahu said, "if we stick to all these things, the north will bloom, it's going to happen in the south, and it’ll happen in the north too. We have a 48-hour deadline to make a decision."

The Israeli army has shared a video taken by Hamas of released hostages Dafna (15) and Ella (8) Elyakim when they were in captivity, before their release in November. In the video, Ella is shown saying: "I am eight, and I am asking Bibi to release us. I am a Hamas hostage."
