Blinken continues negotiations with Israelis on Gaza truce

The head of American diplomacy met today with two high-ranking Israeli officials and discussed the issue of negotiations to reach a truce between Israel and Hamas, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said. National Security Adviser Tchai Hanegbi and Israel’s Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer confirmed during the meeting that his country remains committed to finding a ceasefire agreement based on the terms presented by US President Joe Biden on May 31. Blinken, for his part, expressed serious concerns about the recent civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip. The State Department reiterated that Israel has the right to target Hamas fighters, but that does not justify attacks on civilians. Source: RES
