US Secretary of State Blinken Denies Haaretz Report on Hamas Hostage Offer
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."
