Blinken says with Israel’s recent tactical victories over Hamas, the U.S hopes to revive ceasefire talks. “We talked about the plan that we’ve had on the table and the work that we’re doing on that plan, looking at new frameworks and formulations as a possibility,” Blinken said.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged Israel on Wednesday to use the opportunity to end the war in Gaza created by the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and the destruction of much of the group's capacity during more than a year of conflict.
