Direct speech: “I heard directly from the President of the Palestinian Authority [Махмуда] Abbas and virtually every other leader I’ve spoken to in the region that this idea has no chance of success and that’s why we don’t support it.”
Details: Asked about proposals to resettle some Gazans in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, Blinken said: “We believe people should be able to stay in Gaza, in their home. But we also want to make sure they are safe and get the help they need.” .
