INA - BAGHDAD

The US State Department confirmed on Monday that it is working on presenting a new proposal regarding Gaza.

"We are discussing with Egypt and Qatar the US proposal to cease fire. We're trying to see that it's a proposal that can get the parties to an ultimate agreement. We don't have a specific time to release this proposal," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters in a press conference.

He added, "We made it clear a while ago that the diplomatic solution is the best way to bring calm to the situation."
