Blinken says 'decisive moment' for Gaza ceasefire talks

US secretary of state Antony Blinken has used a visit to Israel to warn that upcoming negotiations for a Gaza truce could be the “last opportunity” to return hostages held by Hamas and end the war that threatens to spiral into a conflict with Iran.

Blinken met Isaac Herzog, the Israeli president, and will later on Monday meet Benyamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, before travelling to Egypt, which has been mediating the talks alongside Qatar.

The US had put forward a bridging proposal in talks held last week in Qatar, and wants both Israel and Hamas to accept when the negotiations resume in Cairo in a few days.

Every moment for Blinken is decisive. But nothing comes out of it. No one is listening to him.Just on a picnic trip. Will roam there and there and go back empty-hand.

Dual citizen ? All those visits? Just checking his condominium!

When you see Blinken there you know it will fail.

It's more about winning back voters than actually wanting it to stop 😅

[danielploianu]

Than stop selling weapons to Isreal and force both parties to agree on a peace deal without any further delays

In 2023, an estimated 6.3 million children under five died, 2.9 million of them in the WHO African Region. This is equivalent to five children under 5 years of age dying every minute. Two thirds of these deaths can be attributed to preventable causes. A third of all these deaths are in the neonatal period. 0:13
