U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said at meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Friday that several pauses could lead to hostages being released
The White House is pushing for multiple pauses in Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza so that aid can be let in, and people can be allowed to safely leave the region. U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said at meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Friday that discussions about such pauses could facilitate getting hostages released. Israel on Friday put the latest number of hostages held by Hamas at 241.
We see this as a way of further facilitating the ability to get assistance in . . .to the people who need it,' Blinken said. 'We see it as a way also, and very importantly, of creating a better environment in which hostages can be released.' However, Blinken said that a pause would not be a guarantee that the hostages would eventually be freed.
Netanyahu on Friday also rejected international requests for a humanitarian ceasefire. 'Israel refuses a temporary ceasefire that does not include the return of our hostages,' Netanyahu said Friday in a televised address. Blinken, too, pushed back on calls for a ceasefire. 'We stand strongly with and behind Israel in its right and obligation to defend itself, defend its people and take the steps necessary to try to ensure that this never happens again,' Blinken said.
