Antony Blinken: “The United States has a positive vision for the future: a world that's free, secure, open and prosperous.”

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.

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.
