The White House has continued to press Israel to work toward an end to the fighting in Gaza to free the hostages and allow humanitarian aid to enter the region.
US national security spokesman John Kirby said progress had been made in negotiations towards a humanitarian pause, but more work needed to be done.
" We continue to support an extended humanitarian pause ," he told reporters.
He also said the US did not have specific information on where the hostages were being held by Hamas, adding that it may have to accept the possibility that some hostages are no longer alive.
The statements came a day after Joe Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that a military operation in Rafah "should not go ahead" without a plan to protect civilians there.
We recall that in the area where Israel seeks to launch its next offensive, there were 1.4 million Palestinians displaced by the attacks in Gaza. Another displacement would have huge consequences, among thousands of people who have been without food for months.
