Blinken asks Turkey to use influence with Hamas to reach Gaza ceasefire

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday said he had asked Turkey to use its influence with Hamas to get the Palestinian Islamist movement to agree to a ceasefire in Gaza.

"We talked about the imperative of Hamas saying 'yes' to the agreement that's possible to finally help bring this to an end. And we appreciate very much the role that Turkey can play in using its voice with Hamas to try to bring this to a conclusion," he said after top-level talks in Turkey.
