New Ceasefire Negotiations Begin

A new ceasefire proposal is being negotiated in Egypt between Israel and Hamas that would bring about a 6 week pause in the fighting. Strategic Comms Director for the White House, John Kirby, talked about hostage situations and how Hamas should step down. Hamas is creating barriers from working towards peace and the U.S. is not going to quit to find two state solutions and to bring the hostages home.

John Kirby announced that Israel won’t invade Rafah without allowing the U.S. to give input first. This break could give us room to bring more permanent peace within the Middle East.

Secretary of State, Anton Blinken, spoke about how the quickest way for all of this conflict to end is through a ceasefire and the release of all of the hostages.He talked about how the looming invasion of Rafah is not supported by the U.S. and if these negotiations collapse, there’s no plan to protect the civilians.
