how Israel does is matters, with democracies distinguish ourselves from terrorists by striving for a different standard.

I understand on a personal level the harrowing echoes that Hamas' massacres carry for Israeli Jews, indeed for Jews everywhere.

Israel has the right, indeed the obligation to defend itself and to ensure that this never happens again.

He told reporters that efforts are ongoing, but admitted they are in his words, understandably complicated.

It's no surprise that those who are opposed to the talks, those who are opposed to Israel normalizing its relations with its neighbors and with countries beyond the region, are Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran.

Secretary of State Tony Blinken, he is slated to appear on several Sunday shows, including CNN State of the Union.

We do... we have a challenge is on the production end.

I could not agree with you more on the imperative of this challenge.

The world is watching how we--and Beijing--manage this relationship.
