Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Israel aiming to secure a cease-fire deal while facing skepticism from Hamas over the negotiation progress and Israel's military stance.
Hamas officials have expressed doubts regarding the optimism of U.S. negotiators, claiming that Israel's adjustments and demands are hindering efforts towards a cease-fire agreement.
The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with over 40,000 reported deaths in Gaza and increasing concerns about humanitarian conditions as both sides continue to grapple with military and political challenges.
During his visit, Blinken also engaged in discussions with the Saudi foreign minister regarding humanitarian aid flows into Gaza, highlighting the interconnected humanitarian and geopolitical implications of the conflict.
