Blinken travels to Middle East again to promote Gaza ceasefire

The United States is currently preparing a new proposal to get representatives of Israel and the extremist organization Hamas to agree to a truce.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will travel to Egypt this week once again, with the aim of promoting the implementation of the Gaza ceasefire.

The United States is currently feverishly preparing a new proposal to get the representatives of Israel and the extremist organization Hamas to agree to a truce, said a representative of the US State Department Matthew Miller.

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar assured in a letter released late Monday to Yemen’s Houthi rebels that Hamas is preparing for a long war of attrition in Gaza.

Secretary General of the UN Antonio Guterres on the other hand, in his statement, he condemned the collective punishment of the Palestinians for the attack on Israel by extremist organizations less than a year ago. Guterres says that during his tenure as Secretary-General, he has witnessed nothing comparable to the amount of death and destruction in the Gaza Strip.
