US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday that a ceasefire in Gaza was the “imperative,” after the assassination of Hamas’s political bureau leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran’s capital Tehran.
Speaking at a forum in Singapore, Blinken refused to comment directly on the killing of Haniyeh.
He said reaching a ceasefire in Gaza “is the enduring imperative.”
The US is not involved in the death of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. US Secretary of State Anthony Blanken has said that a ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza is important, the best way to reduce tensions is a ceasefire.
