The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, is set to visit Israel on Saturday as part of urgent diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza and finalize a hostage deal. This announcement comes following high-level negotiations in Doha involving the United States, Qatar, and Egypt.
During the negotiations, the US presented a 'bridging proposal' aimed at resolving key differences between Hamas and Israel to facilitate a swift implementation of the deal. Specific details of the proposal were not disclosed in the joint statement released by the three main negotiators.
