Antony Blinken calls for Gaza ceasefire agreement, urges return of hostages

Antony Blinken calls for Gaza ceasefire agreement, urges return of hostages Amidst renewed optimism for a deal, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has called for an immediate ceasefire agreement in Gaza, emphasizing the need to secure the return of hostages held by Hamas and alleviate Palestinian suffering after months of devastating conflict. “This is a decisive moment, probably the best, maybe the last, opportunity to get the hostages home, to get a cease-fire and to put everyone on a better path to enduring peace and security,“ Blinken said as he opened talks with Israeli President Isaac Herzog in Tel Aviv. This push for a ceasefire comes as tensions escalate with Iran accusing Israel of killing top militant commanders in Lebanon, raising concerns of a wider regional conflict. #Israel - Boost Source: RT News
