In the ever-evolving saga of the conflict in Gaza, discussions and negotiations continue on multiple fronts. The United Nations Security Council is scheduled to vote on a resolution calling for an immediate halt to the fighting, though the vote has been postponed three times already. The delay is attributed to the careful consideration of the United States, which is yet to decide its stance on the matter.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently criticized countries that have not demanded Hamas's surrender in his statement. He highlighted the importance of not solely focusing on Israel, urging Hamas to lay down its arms, stop hiding behind civilians, and embrace peace. He emphasized that the conflict could come to an end if Hamas takes such measures.
