Blinken: ongoing attacks could “derail” cease-fire talks
The Biden administration is frustrated that recent attacks could “derail” Israel-Hamas cease-fire talks.
Secretary of State Blinken said the U-S is still assessing how a deadly series of pager explosions linked to Israel in Lebanon may impact cease-fire efforts. Speaking in Cairo, Egypt, he also pointed to Hamas’ killing earlier this month of six hostages held in Gaza. Blinken said such events make the cease-fire process “more difficult” and “might derail it.” The secretary is on his 10th trip to the Middle East since the war in Gaza began last October.
