Antony Blinken: “The president has been determined and committed to put human rights at the center of our foreign policy.”

We are so happy that you're out and you're on your way home.

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.

Today, Secretary Blinken said that, now, they mostly want to see is 'people being able to return their homes.'
