The White House announced on Tuesday that the United States of America “is still working to reach a longer humanitarian truce in Gaza and release the Israeli hostages” held by resistance factions in the besieged Strip.

US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, met with Egyptian President, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, today, as part of a 48-hour shuttle diplomacy tour that includes four countries, seeking a truce in the Gaza Strip, which Israel has continued its attack on for 123 days.
