US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had “reaffirmed his commitment” to a Gaza ceasefire proposal during their meeting in Jerusalem yesterday.

“I met with Prime Minister Netanyahu last night and he reaffirmed his commitment to the proposal,” Blinken says, adding that Hamas’s welcoming of a UN vote on the US-drafted ceasefire resolution is a “hopeful” sign.
