Blinken 'hopeful' Hamas will accept 'extraordinarily generous' Gaza deal
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday he was hopeful Hamas would accept an "extraordinarily generous" offer to halt Israel's Gaza offensive in return for the release of hostages.
"Hamas has before it a proposal that is extraordinarily, extraordinarily generous on the part of Israel," Blinken said in Riyadh at the World Economic Forum.
"They have to decide – and they have to decide quickly," Blinken said. "I'm hopeful that they will make the right decision." (AFP)
