U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has vehemently denied a report published by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which claimed that Hamas offered to release all civilian hostages without any conditions immediately after the October 7th attacks. Blinken described the report as "completely false."
The Haaretz report, which was published and then repeated, stated that Qatar had conveyed Hamas's offer to release all civilian hostages unconditionally shortly after the October 7th Hamas-led attack on Israel. This assertion has now been directly refuted by the top American diplomat.
