U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken mentioned on Monday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had accepted a “bridging proposal” Washington offered to deal with disagreements blocking a cease-fire deal in Gaza, and urged Hamas to do the identical.
Blinken spoke to journalists after a day of conferences with Israeli officers, together with a 2½-hour assembly with Netanyahu.
The prime U.S. diplomat had earlier mentioned this push was in all probability the very best and presumably final alternative for a deal.
