AGI – Hamas remains “the only obstacle between the people of Gaza and a ceasefire” with Israel. The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, said this.
“We’re waiting to see if, in fact, they can agree to say yes to the ceasefire and the release of the hostages,” Blinken explained at the McCain Institute’s Sedona Forum in Arizona. “The reality right now is that the only obstacle between the people of Gaza and the ceasefire is Hamas,” she added.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken renewed his warnings against a major Israeli attack on the crowded Gaza city of Rafah, saying Israel has not presented a plan to protect civilians.
“Absent such a plan, we cannot support a major military operation in Rafah because the damage it would do is beyond what is acceptable,” Blinken said at the McCain Institute’s Sedona Forum in Arizona.
