US Secretary of State Antony Blinken speaks during a meeting with Israel's President Isaac Herzog, not in picture, in Tel Aviv, Israel, Aug 19, 2024. "This is a decisive moment - probably the best, maybe the last, opportunity to get the hostages home, to get a ceasefire and to put everyone on a better path to enduring peace and security," Blinken said as he met Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
"It is time for it to get done. It's also time to make sure that no one takes any steps that could derail this process," Blinken said. Blinken, on his ninth visit to the Middle East since Hamas' Oct 7 attack on Israel, is scheduled to meet later on Monday with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
