The US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, said it could be the ‘best and last opportunity’ to get hostages held in Gaza home and secure a ceasefire as he arrived in Israel on a diplomatic mission.

After landing in Tel Aviv, Blinken was quoted as saying that it was a ‘decisive moment’ for the negotiations. The push comes amid heightened fears of an anticipated Iranian and Hezbollah attack against Israel and the threat of an all-out regional war

Hamas knows where possibly 30 odd hostages are, but not the rest. That's what I think. The rest were kidnapped by civilians. Many in houses of terrorists killed. Previously in one of the deals Hamas offered 33 hostages back. Two days later said not 33 but 32. Why? Most likely because one of the 33 had died.
While the vile pro palestinian marches continue, governments doing nothing about it. Those participating in these hate marches, don't spare a single thought about the innocent hostages.
The world is in a mess because of America ,
Blinken visiting family again?
Only trip no output war criminal
Don't trust America warmongers ☝
The Palestinian government has a charter to remove Israel from the map, so how can there be peace?
Withdraw from the gaze first, secure two state solutions..and after hostage will be released
🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
The Americans could have stopped this genocide 9 months ago by stopping arms shipments to Isreal.
It also sounds like the Americans are trying to keep Iran from retaliating.
Actually there's no way while the war criminal Netanyahu is in power.
Sick of hearing faux concern about these hostages they let Hamas take solely to justify ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Blinkens father , was Ghislane Maxwells father’s attorney.
Lies and Theatre,
Would you believe a word that comes out of Blinken’s mouth? Philw
Blinken is probably the most disrespected secretary of state in history of the united states.
Its Mr. Blinken the other way round. Secure Gaza ceasefire and then to release hostages.
As usual everyone uses the blame game card. That's probably what's wrong with the world. Us humans couldn't agree on anything.
Blinken is a sham and continues to masquerade as a peacekeeper,,!!? 🤣😂🤑
big tony got the weapons passed😏
The way they shook hands tells you everything. Its like coming home to destroy with the word humanity not exists.
Arrest warrant should be issued for blinken…
Liar!!!
I thought the West doesn't negotiate with terrorists? Can Keir find misogynistic posts from hamas to justify action?
Any ceasefire would mean Israel may be a bit safer, and who wants that?
I wonder if it will ever be international law time. Guess not
Blinken is thinking about the Israel hostages rather than the genocide and the relentless bombing in GAZA.
Secure Gaza by placing the blame at Israel
The only reason why the Biden- Harris administration wants a ceasefire is because it wants to use the ceasefire to enhance its chances to win in the next election. In the same breath, neither Israel nor Hamas wants a ceasefire albeit for different reasons. Israel doesn’t want a ceasefire so that it can completely destroy Hamas on the battlefield. Hamas doesn’t want a ceasefire either because the war brings attention and sympathy for the Palestinians at an unprecedented level that has never been seen before.
Since neither side of the war wants a ceasefire, it doesn’t matter what Blinken does or says. He’s wasting his time.
Bs
Lying eyes
the democrats do not support Isreal…. do you think they haven't been watching the gov't supported protests?
For the sake of peace, no ceasefire with Hamas.
Why does the USA have any say at all tbh
2 demons side by side talking about. A ceasefire infront of cameras once again
Nethanyahoo is a big hindrance in the deal
Blinkin the war lover . Hes the problem
