US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says that he can't predict the impact on what comes next following killing of Hamas chief, Reuters reports.
"It also requires them to find reasons to come to an agreement, not to look for reasons to delay or say no to the agreement. And it's urgent that all parties make the right choices in the days ahead, because those choices are the difference between staying on this path of violence, of insecurity, of suffering, or moving to something very different and much better for all parties concerned.
Now, again, I can't predict the effect, the impact of any one event on what comes next. I've learned over many years that not to do that. But I think it remains manifestly the case that ceasefire is in the interests of everyone, it's in the interests of Israelis, it's in the interests of Palestinians, it's in the interests of the region," Blinken states.
