Blinken sees 'encouraging signs' on reaching Gaza ceasefire

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday that he saw "encouraging signs" of progress towards a ceasefire in the war-torn Gaza Strip on a visit to Ankara.

"We discussed Gaza, and we discussed, I think, the opportunity... to get a ceasefire in place. And what we've seen in the last couple of weeks are more encouraging signs that that is possible," Blinken said after meeting Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.
