Blinken warns Israel and Hamas of ‘last chance’ to end Gaza war

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged for Israel and Hamas to reach an agreement on a ceasefire deal on Monday, warning that the latest push for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal was probably the best and possibly last opportunity.

“This is a decisive moment, probably the best, maybe the last opportunity to get the hostages home, to get a ceasefire and to put everyone on a better path to enduring peace and security,” Blinken told reporters before meeting Israeli President Isaac Herzog and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday morning.
