    Blinken Urges Israeli Leaders to Agree to Ceasefire in Gaza: “The Time is Now”

    US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Israel, pushing for a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas in the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Blinken met with Israeli leaders, including President Isaac Herzog, to discuss the urgent need for a ceasefire that would bring hostages home and suspend the nearly seven months of war.

    The US is desperate to get the Israelis to ceasefire. Blinken emphasized that Hamas would be to blame if a deal is not reached, and urged for no delays or excuses in the negotiations.

    The proposed deal would also allow essential supplies like food, medicine, and water to reach Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are in need.

    The two sides are still far apart on key issues

    Despite the seriousness of the current round of talks, the two sides are still far apart on key issues, particularly on whether the war should end as part of the deal. Blinken’s visit to Israel is part of his regional tour, which included stops in Saudi Arabia and Jordan, where he called on Hamas to accept the latest proposal.

    The United States has criticized Israel for its plan to invade Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city, warning of potential harm to civilians. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to invade Rafah with or without a ceasefire deal, as he sees it as last way to force the Palestinians to flee from Gaza.

    The proposed deal, brokered by the US, Egypt, and Qatar, would involve the release of hostages in exchange for a temporary halt in fighting.

    However, the sticking point remains on what happens next, with Hamas demanding a complete end to Israel’s assault in Gaza and a withdrawal of Israeli troops.

    As the talks continue, the Israeli attacks in Gaza continue, indiscriminately killing men, women and children. Recent Israeli airstrikes causing casualties, including children.

    The situation remains tense as both sides try to navigate towards a ceasefire agreement that would bring much-needed relief to the people of Gaza.
