 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 Institute 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.
