Blinken: Gaza Hostage Release and Ceasefire Deal Nearing Completion

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated on Friday that a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, along with the release of the remaining hostages by Hamas, is close to being finalized.

“I believe we’re within the 10-yard line and advancing toward the goal line,” Blinken said during a forum in Colorado. He emphasized that this potential agreement aims to achieve a ceasefire, secure the return of the hostages, and set the stage for lasting peace and stability.
