Sec. of State Antony Blinken said a 'significant' number of the 10 missing Americans are hostages, and Hamas is blocking Americans from leaving Gaza.
“We have several hundred Americans and other nationalities, other civilians from other countries who want to leave Gaza,” Blinken said on. “We’ve had people come to Rafah, the crossing with Egypt. And to date, at least, Hamas has blocked them from leaving, showing once again, its total disregard for civilians of any kind who are stuck in Gaza.
Blinken told NBC’s Kristen Welker that Gaza cannot return to the “status quo” by again putting Hamas into power. “I think we know two things. We can’t go back to the status quo; they can’t go back to the status quo with Hamas being in a position in terms of its governance of Gaza to repeat what it did,” he said, adding, “At the same time, what I’ve heard from the Israelis is absolutely no intent, no desire, to be running Gaza themselves.
