US secretary of state Antony Blinken says Egypt-Gaza crossing will reopen after meeting with Egypt’s president but does not confirm a time
Any move by Israel to occupy Gaza would be a “big mistake,” US president Joe Biden has said, amid hopes that the enclave’s border with Egypt would open to allow aid in, as Israeli troops continued to prepare for a ground invasion.
In an interview with 60 Minutes on Sunday, Biden said he believes the Hamas militant group must be eliminated but there should be a path to a Palestinian state.
