Blinken arrives in Israel, and Netanyahu anticipates the meeting by insisting on continuing the war. The Hamas movement announced that it had delivered its response to the framework agreement to Qatar and Egypt after consulting the movement’s leaders, in addition to the resistance factions.

The movement said that it dealt with the proposal in a positive spirit, to ensure a comprehensive ceasefire, end the aggression, lift the siege, and exchange prisoners. Netanyahu rejected Hamas’ demands and renewed his commitment to continue the war on Gaza.
