US secretary of state Marco Rubio on Sunday said that the war in Gaza has not ended yet, despite Israel and Hamas agreeing to a peace plan.
"We will know very quickly whether Hamas is serious or not by how these technical talks go in terms of the logistics," Rubio told NBC News' "Meet the Press" about the release of hostages from Gaza.
Rubio, while talking to CBS News, said that Israel must stop bombing Gaza for the hostage release to take place by Hamas.
"I think the Israelis and everyone acknowledge you can't release hostages in the middle of strikes, so the strikes will have to stop," Rubio told "Face the Nation."
"There can't be a war going on in the middle of it," he added.
Meanwhile, Israel on Sunday said that a team of negotiators has been on its way to Egypt for indirect talks with Hamas, which is expected to begin on Monday.
"The team will be leaving tonight, with plans for talks to begin tomorrow," government spokeswoman Shosh Badrosian told reporters.
