Secretary of State Antony Blinken has arrived in Tel Aviv to consult with partners and discuss efforts to bring all remaining hostages home. Blinken expressed his commitment to work relentlessly until the hostages are reunited with their families. He emphasized the agony faced by families not knowing the fate of their loved ones and acknowledged the unbearable pain they endure.
Discussions were held with the Israeli government regarding Hamas's response to the proposal put forth by the United States, Qatar, and Egypt. While there were some non-starters in Hamas's response, Blinken believes there is still potential for an agreement to be reached and vowed to continue working towards that goal.
