Hamas official says Blinken ‘part of the problem, not the solution’ to war in Gaza
CAIRO, Egypt — Hamas official Osama Hamdan denies that the terror group had put forward new ideas for the US-backed proposal for a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza.
Hamdan, speaking to the pan-Arab Al-Araby TV, also says that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was “part of the problem, not the solution” in the Gaza conflict.
Earlier, Blinken said that Hamas had suggested numerous changes, some unworkable, to the Gaza ceasefire proposal, though he also said mediators remained determined to close the gaps.
