US Secretary of State Antony Blinken travels to Qatar on Thursday as he attempts to put an end to the Gaza battle after Israel assassinated the group’s president.
Blinken was flying from Saudi Arabia to the Qatari capital Doha on Thursday to speak evaluations of Hamas ‘ position on a ceasefire two days after meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem.
After being repeatedly disappointed as he attempts to put an end to the damaging Jewish reprisal campaign in the Gaza Strip, Blinken is making his 11th journey to the area since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
President Joe Biden has found fresh trust days before the US elections, however, after Israel killed Hamas spokesman Yahya Sinwar in Gaza.
In the course of a peace that would also result in the release of captives from Gaza, US authorities had described Sinwar as being obstinate in negotiations with the US, Qatar, and Egypt.
Blinken claimed to have spoken with Israel’s officials about how crucial it is to know whether Hamas is ready to move ahead, and that the Egyptians and Qataris are doing just that.
As he left Israel on Wednesday, Blinken told investigators,” But I believe that now Sinwar is gone, because he was the main obstacle to achieving the prisoner contract,” adding that there is a real chance to bring them home and accomplish the goal.
Detractors at home and abroad claim that the Biden administration failed to hit Israel, which has a near-consistent supply of billions of dollars in US weapons, as a result.
Hamas has not yet decided on a son to Sinwar. This year, two Hamas sources told AFP that the organization was considering creating a ruling body with a Doha-based base rather than a one person to succeed.
Blinken claimed that a ceasefire proposal put forth by Biden on May 31 was still on the table but that it also suggested that the hostages were willing to look into “new systems” to find freedom.
Blinken is also interested in more detail regarding a plan for post-war leadership in Gaza, as it is regarded as a crucial part of efforts to put an end to the war.
Hamas seized Gaza in 2007 and has run an company there for more than ten years, first with the support of Israel and the United States.
The office has established a communication channel between the organization and Qatar, a quick provincial player with a significant US base and whose primary patron is US arch-nemesis Iran, to help Hamas run an impoverished Gaza.
After the October 7 attack, Israel has vowed to expel Hamas and even killed its Qatar-based democratic leader, Ismail Haniyeh, while he was visiting Iran in July.
