Blinken: There is still “place for an agreement” between Israel and Hamas. At the same time, Blinken said Wednesday that he warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government against actions that inflame tensions.
Netanyahu renewed his pledge to continue the war until Hamas is eliminated, indicating that achieving Israeli goals in this war is a matter of months, and that there is no going back from victory in it. The US Secretary of State had called earlier Wednesday for “a commitment to do everything in our power to deliver the necessary aid to those who most need it”
