US Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed confidence in the ceasefire and hostage deal set to go into effect on Sunday, despite a delay in the Israeli vote on the agreement. Blinken stated that he fully expects the implementation of the agreement, emphasizing that the negotiation process has been challenging and may have loose ends that need to be addressed.
During a press conference on Thursday, Blinken reassured the public that efforts were underway to resolve any outstanding issues. He mentioned being in constant communication with key figures involved in the negotiations, including Biden's Middle East negotiator and Qatari officials.
