Secretary of State Antony Blinken on his third trip to Israel since the October 7th Hamas terror attack pressed Israel's leaders to do more to protect civilians in Gaza and allow more humanitarian aid to enter the 25-mile long strip.
Blinken urged Israeli leaders to prioritize civilian safety and humanitarian aid during his visit.

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.
We see, I think this committee sees, corruption as being one of the most poisonous things that undermines democracies.
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 have done and we will continue to do everything we can to, if we can do it, develop the information and share the information.
