Antony Blinken: “Iran and Hamas have a long relationship. Hamas wouldn't be Hamas without the support it's had for many years from Iran.”

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.'

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

The U.S. government was concerned Beijing was considering augmenting its support for Russia with 'everything from ammunition to the weapons themselves.'
