On October 5 local time, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said that talks were being held on the Israeli-Hamas deal, hoping the details of the deal could be clarified as soon as possible.

Asked if this meant the end of the Gaza War, Rubio replied: "Not yet, there is still some work to be done." Rubio said that Hamas agreed in principle to post-war arrangements, and the so-called second phase of disarmament will not be easy and difficult. Rubio said he hoped to release the hostages as soon as possible. He also said that governance structures that exclude Hamas could not be established in Gaza within three days. (CCTV reporter Liu Xu)
