Antony Blinken: “The nature of the relationship that the Taliban would have with us or most other countries around the world will depend…”

That statement is incorrect.

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.

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.

The United States and other world leaders stand by that comprehensive proposal that President Biden laid out 10 days ago.
