Blinken further said that it should be ensured that no terrorist threats can emanate from the West Bank, adding, "We must also work on the affirmative elements to get to a sustained peace. These must include the Palestinian people's voices and aspirations at the centre of post-crisis governance in Gaza."
Moreover, he emphasized that it must include a sustained mechanism for reconstruction in Gaza and a pathway for Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in their own states.
"It must include Palestinian-led governance and Gaza unified with the West Bank under the Palestinian authority and it must include a sustained mechanism for reconstruction in Gaza and a pathway to Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in states of their own with equal measures of security, freedom, opportunity and dignity," he said.
Mewanwhile, The Israel Defence Force (IDF) posted a video of an IDF official on X, stating why people should be angry at what's happening in Gaza.
They shared a video clip of the Political leader of Hamas Ismail Haniyeh in which he said, "The blood of the children, women and elderly, we are the ones who need this blood so it awakens within us the revolutionary spirit."
The IDF spokespersons stressed that anger at Israel is Hamas's secret weapon.
"Anger at Israel is Hamas's secret weapon. This anger fuels them, legitimizes them, and funds them to continue attacking us and to terrorize Jews around the world," she said, adding that, that's why Hamas is doing everything they can to ensure that civilians in Gaza die in the war that Hamas dragged us into.
"That's why, Hamas uses ambulances and why they put their headquarters under hospitals, and why they put their headquarters under hospitals. That's why Hamas prevents people from evacuating a warzone," she said.
Hamas is doing everything they can, in every possible way to ensure civilians in Gaza die, just so that they can blame it on Israel, the IDF posted.
The IDF official further highlighted that everything Israel is doing in Gaza now is to dismantle Hamas.
