Q Mr. President, what did you learn from your briefing today?

Q Mr. President, (inaudible) about whether you propose a final offer to Israel and Hamas this week?

THE PRESIDENT: It's still being negotiated.

Q What parts are being negotiated?

Q What would you like to see Netanyahu do?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, we're in the middle of negotiations.

Q Can you explain why Netanyahu is not doing enough? Can you explain why you think Prime Minister Netanyahu is not doing enough to help the hostages?

Q Netanyahu just gave a speech. He was very defiant. And he said that he will stay in Philadelphi. Will this halt the agreement?

THE PRESIDENT: We're still in negotiations — not with him — with my colleagues from Qatar and from Egypt.
