US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Wednesday. He pushed for more aid into Gaza and urged Hamas to accept a deal that would halt fighting and bring some hostages home from the enclave. Blinken urged Netanyahu not to move forward with the Rafah offensive amid truce talks. A Hamas official has hinted that the group may reject the latest Gaza ceasefire-hostage release proposal, green-lit by Israel, after Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to invade Rafah whether or not the deal is signed.
