The US secretary of state Antony Blinken remarked on Sunday that a full-scale Israeli offensive in the Gaza city of Rafah would result in "anarchy" unless Hamas is eliminated. Additionally, he acknowledged that Israeli forces had caused more civilian casualties than Hamas militants. On "Face the Nation," CBS's Margaret Brennan questioned Blinken about whether the United States agrees with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent statement. Netanyahu claimed that Israel had killed 14,000 terrorists and 16,000 civilians in its conflict with Hamas.

Hamas criticised US President Joe Biden on Sunday for linking a Gaza cease-fire to the release of Israelis held captive by the Palestinian group. Biden stated on Saturday that a cease-fire in Gaza could occur as soon as “tomorrow” if Hamas released Israelis in its custody. Hamas deemed this stance as a step backward from the outcomes of previous negotiations. They noted that their approval of a proposal, facilitated by mediators from Egypt and Qatar, had been done with the knowledge of the United States.
