Blinken: Hamas ‘the only thing standing between the people of Gaza and a ceasefire’

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Hamas is the only holdup to a Gaza ceasefire as the terrorists prepared to send a delegation back to Cairo on Saturday for talks.

“We wait to see whether, in effect, they can take yes for an answer on the ceasefire and release of hostages,” Blinken says at the McCain Institute’s Sedona Forum in Arizona. “The reality in this moment is the only thing standing between the people of Gaza and a ceasefire is Hamas.”
