Middle East updates: Blinken says cease-fire '90% agreed' DW 09/06/2024
Briefly

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated, "Based on what I have seen, 90% is agreed but there are a few critical issues that remain," emphasizing the urgency of reaching a truce between Israel and Hamas. He noted the importance of both parties working together to finalize an agreement that would not only stop the fighting but also facilitate the release of hostages.
Blinken mentioned, "As close as I believe we are to getting a cease-fire agreement, every day that goes by where it is not finalized...is a day in which something else happens." This underscores the precarious situation, suggesting that delays could worsen the circumstances further.
