US Secretary of State Blinken Calls on Hamas to Accept Ceasefire & Hostage Deal | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is once again calling upon Hamas to accept the ceasefire and hostage release proposal that was adopted by the UN Security Council on Monday. 14 of the 15 council members voted in favor with Russia abstaining. And today, reports indicate that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is prepared to sign the proposal. Award-winning writer and former Middle East peace negotiator, Gershon Baskin, joins to share whether the rare agreement on the security council gives this resolution more gravity. Baskin tells us whether a signature from Netanyahu, along with mounting international pressure means anything to Hamas and what it will take to get them to the table and accept a deal. Baskin discusses how the hostage rescue at Nuseirat impacted negotiations and the psyche of both sides. He fills us in on how he sees the next days and weeks playing out and whether we will see a deal soon or whether the war will continue on. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
