Blinken: Hamas Response Allows Room for Agreement

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced at a press conference in Tel Aviv today, Wednesday, that a U.N. team has begun a mission in northern Gaza to assess the conditions of civilians who are still there and evaluate what needs to be done to allow displaced Palestinians to return to their homes. He stated, "Hamas's response allows room for an agreement." Israel agreed to the mission last month, but it was postponed due to security concerns.
