Netanyahu-Blinken meeting/L.A.M
The American Secretary of State, Tony Blinken, said tonight (Thursday) in an interview with the Saudi Al-Hadath channel that an agreement on a deal to release hostages in exchange for a ceasefire is getting closer.
"I think that the differences are narrowing and that an agreement is certainly possible," Blinken said.
"We put a good offer on the table but Hamas did not accept it and presented additional demands. The negotiation teams are working now and I think it can be done and it is very necessary.
If Hamas cares about the people of Gaza, it will reach an agreement."
Blinken gave the interview during a visit to Saudi Arabia. He met last night with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and discussed with him the situation in Gaza. Today Blinken will meet in Cairo with the foreign ministers of six Arab countries and with the envoy of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to discuss In the plans for the day after the war in Gaza,
on Friday Blinken will arrive in Israel for a few hours and meet with the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the members of the War Cabinet.
