Blinken: Gaza negotiations may be the last chance to reach a ceasefire

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken warned that the ongoing negotiations on the truce in the Gaza Strip “may be the last chance to reach a ceasefire” in the war that has been going on for more than ten months.

Blinken said in a statement during his meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog: ” “I’m here as part of an intensive diplomatic effort on President Biden’s instructions to try to get this agreement to the line and ultimately over the line…It is time for everyone to get to yes and to not look for any excuses to say no,”

He saw ” “It’s also time to make sure that no one takes any steps that could derail this process, and so we’re working to make sure that there is no escalation, that there are no provocations,”
