For Blinken, “Hamas, which finds itself in the middle of the Palestinian people and the ceasefire” must “make a decision quickly”.
Then there is the question of the “after” of the conflict, and Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Faisal, who met with Blinken in Riyadh, said that “the agreements with the US on the future government of Gaza are very close , most of the work has already been done.”
