US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says slain Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar multiple times in recent months rebuffed efforts by hostage deal mediators to secure a deal to release the hostages and bring about an end to the war.
The US will redouble its efforts toward that end in the coming days in order to “chart a new path forward that will enable the people of Gaza to rebuild their lives and realize their aspirations free from war and free from the brutal grip of Hamas,” Blinken adds in a statement.
