Blinken says ceasefire talks are in final stages and new Hamas leader is ‘main decision-maker’
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said talks on a ceasefire in Gaza are in their final stages and he said Hamas’ new leader, Yahya Sinwar, has the power to decide.

Sinwar’s arrival as Hamas leader “only underscores the fact that it’s really up to him to decide whether to move forward with a ceasefire,” Blinken said, warning that now is the time for “all parties involved to bring closure, without delay, without excuses and without reason” for not reaching a yes.

Israel reportedly informed the United States that it was responsible for the killing of the Hamas leader.
Although it refused to comment publicly on the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Israel privately soon admitted to the United States that it was responsible, according to The Washington Post, citing three sources familiar with the matter.
The White House, according to the same sources, responded with surprise and outrage to the death of the Hamas leader. The Biden administration considered that it could represent a step backwards in the negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza.
An Israeli official told the Washington Post that the first telephone conversation between US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the death of Ismail Haniyeh was “tense.”
However, according to the same newspaper, there are no signs that the US government intends to begin pressuring Tel Aviv to limit its actions on the battlefield.
