0:53Now PlayingUS Secretary of State Antony Blinken is courting the leaders of Egypt and Qatar today in the hope they’ll prod Hamas toward a truce with Israel. #politics #israel #gaza #palestine #blinken #ceasefire
He’s said his ninth wartime tour is potentially the last chance for a deal to end the fighting in Gaza that health officials in the Hamas-run Palestinian territory say has killed almost 40,000 people.
The Arab states are important channels to the Palestinian armed faction, which the US is urging to accept a new proposal for a three-phase winding down of hostilities, trades of Israeli hostages for prisoners and humanitarian aid and reconstruction.
Hamas is still insisting on an end to, rather than just a suspension of, the 10-month Israeli offensive. Yet it finds itself facing an apparently united US-Qatari-Egyptian front: Washington is keen to cap the conflict and focus on a presidential election that has seen pro-Palestinian protests at events for Vice President Kamala Harris, while Middle East capitals are fretting about spillover into a regional war.
