Blinken said he remained hopeful of reaching a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
NEW YORK – US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday he remained hopeful of reaching a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and promised to use his remaining month in office to achieve it.
"But I don't want to hazard a guess as to what the probability is," he said at the Council on Foreign Relations. US President Joe Biden has faced criticism from the left of his Democratic Party for not exerting greater leverage on Israel, such as withholding more of the billions of dollars in US weapons on which it relies.
"So Gaza has to be translated into something different that ensures that Hamas is not in any way in charge, that Israel doesn't have to be, and that there's something coherent that follows," he said.
