The Israeli unity government is determined to push forward with its blockade of the Gaza strip until Hamas has liberated all hostages.
Meanwhile, Anthony Blinken is touring the Middle East and Egypt extends a hand for humanitarian help.
Israel says there will be no humanitarian exceptions to its siege and air bombardment of the Gaza Strip, until all the hostages being held by Hamas are freed. The number of hostages is still being determined but there may be as many as a hundred.“There'll be many difficult days ahead. But I have no doubt that the forces of civilisation will win. And the reason that's true is because we understand what is the first prerequisite of victory- moral clarity. This is a time.
Egypt maintains relations with both Israel and Hamas and has brokered complex cease-fire deals between the bitter foes during previous bouts of violence.“Egypt is ready to harness all its capabilities and efforts to mediate in coordination with all international and regional actors without restrictions or conditions.”
He also said that Hamas doesn't represent the Palestinian people or what he called "their legitimate aspirations".
