The two leaders met before addressing reporters at the White House Cross Hall\u00a0with prepared remarks.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The key elements of the deal are on the table. There are gaps that remain,\u2019 said Biden. \u2018But I\u2019ve encouraged Israeli leaders to keep working to achieve the deal.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Biden and the king also discussed Israel\u2019s military offensive in Rafah, a city in southern Gaza. He said the operation should not occur without a credible plan for ensuring the safety and support of more than one million Palestinians sheltering there who are \u2018exposed and vulnerable.\u2019 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We cannot afford an Israeli attack on Rafah,\u2019 the king said. \u2018It is certain to produce another humanitarian catastrophe.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Israel said two Israeli hostages \u2013 Fernando Marman, 60, and Louis Har, 70being held in Rafah were rescued.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The hostages \u2026 were held captive in harsh conditions. They were intentionally held in the middle of a civilian neighborhood inside a civilian building to try to prevent us from rescuing them. But we did,\u2019 IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari said in a video message. \u2018Fernando Marmon and Luis Har are now home in Israel.
