Q    Mr. President, what did you learn from your briefing today?

Q    Mr. President, (inaudible) about whether you propose a final offer to Israel and Hamas this week?

THE PRESIDENT:  It’s still being negotiated.

Q    What parts are being negotiated?

Q    What would you like to see Netanyahu do?

THE PRESIDENT:  Well, we’re in the middle of negotiations.

Q    Can you explain why Netanyahu is not doing enough?  Can you explain why you think Prime Minister Netanyahu is not doing enough to help the hostages?

Q    Netanyahu just gave a speech.  He was very defiant.  And he said that he will stay in Philadelphi.  Will this halt the agreement?

THE PRESIDENT:  We’re still in negotiations — not with him — with my colleagues from Qatar and from Egypt.
