The United States is intensifying its efforts to facilitate negotiations between Israel and Hamas, according to a statement from State Department spokesperson John Kirby.
Tensions have simmered for years between the two parties, resulting in intermittent conflicts in the Gaza Strip. The U.S. hopes to rekindle the peace process in the region.
Kirby emphasized the need for both sides to return to the negotiating table, citing the importance of a diplomatic solution for lasting peace.
The U.S. is encouraging confidence-building measures and calling for an immediate ceasefire to pave the way for substantive talks.
The international community has long sought a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which remains a significant source of instability in the Middle East.
As the U.S. takes a more active role in mediating between Israel and Hamas, the world watches closely. Can diplomacy finally break the cycle of violence in the region?
