WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Friday a long-sought ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas was within sight, saying negotiators were “driving toward the goal line.”

“There remains some issues that need to be resolved, that need to be negotiated. We’re in the midst of doing exactly that,” Blinken told the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado.
