Families of captives held by Hamas meet with visiting US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, urging the renewal of efforts to swiftly secure a hostage deal after Israeli forces killed the terror group’s leader in Gaza last week.
According to a statement from the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, the group asked Blinken to “apply more pressure on the mediating countries, especially Qatar, to restart negotiations and leverage Sinwar’s elimination into a deal for releasing all hostages,” noting the Gulf emirate hosts Hamas leaders.
