Antony Blinken: “Far too many Palestinians have been killed. Far too many have suffered.”

The bottom line is this: We want Ukraine to win.

We have offered them nothing not to invade Rafah except a plan to deal more effectively with Rafah.

I can't go into the details of our conversations today except to say that our Egyptian counterparts were in communication with Hamas as early, as recently as a few hours ago.

We assess that Hamas has recruited almost as many new militants as it has lost. That is a recipe for an enduring insurgency and perpetual war.
