Antony Blinken: “It is hard to overstate the importance of the Black Sea grain corridor.”

In the Middle East, we're standing with Israel in its efforts to ensure what happened on October 7th never happens again.

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

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 need to keep up this momentum. That requires a State Department budget that we fully resource.
