 The U.S., Egypt, and Qatar have been trying to mediate a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel. Negotiations in Cairo and Doha are ongoing. Speaking at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado today, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he's optimistic. I believe we're inside the 10-yard line and driving toward the goal line and getting an agreement that would produce a ceasefire, get the hostages home, and put us on a better track to trying to build lasting peace and stability.
