Blinken said at a press conference in Doha that the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has created an "opening" for progressing and concluding ceasefire talks.
“The reason I believe there is opportunity now is that I believe the biggest obstacle to concluding that agreement was Sinwar and the fact that he is no longer with us perhaps creates an opening for actually moving forward and concluding the agreement," he told reporters.
