The United States is seeking to renew talks on a ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza after the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. Israel has indicated that Secretary of State Antony Blinken may visit the region as part of these efforts. The Biden administration has been working with mediators Qatar and Egypt to reach a deal, but Sinwar had refused to negotiate. The US now plans to push forward the ceasefire proposal that has been on the table for some time. Blinken has already spoken to the foreign ministers of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and is considering visiting the region again soon.
