The United States, Egypt, Qatar and Israel have come to an understanding of "basic contours" of a temporary ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on CNN on Sunday.

The deal is still under negotiation, said Sullivan, who added there will have to be indirect discussions by Qatar and Egypt with Hamas.
