BLINKEN SAYS 'DECISIVE MOMENT' FOR GAZA CEASEFIRE TALKS

TEL AVIV, Aug 19 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday
called the latest diplomatic push by Washington to achieve a ceasefire deal in
Gaza "probably the best, maybe the last opportunity" and urged all parties to
get the agreement over the finish line.
The marathon talks towards a ceasefire that has been going on for months are set
to continue this week in Cairo, following a two-day meeting in Doha last week.

Blinken will intensify U.S. diplomatic pressure to ensure negotiatiors secure a
breakthrough later this week after the U.S. put forward last week bridging
proposals that the mediating countries believe would close gaps between the
warring parties.
"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 told reporters, ahead of his meeting with
Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

"I'm here as part of an intensive diplomatic effort on President Biden's
instructions to try to get this agreement to the line and ultimately over the
line...It is time for everyone to get to yes and to not look for any excuses to
say no," Blinken added.
The mediating countries - Qatar, the United States and Egypt - have so far
failed to narrow enough differences to reach an agreement in months of on-off
negotiations, and violence continued unabated in Gaza on Sunday.

Hours after Blinken's arrival Hamas said it holds Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu responsible for "thwarting the mediators' efforts", delaying
an agreement and exposing Israeli hostages in Gaza to the same aggression faced
by Palestinians.
There has been increased urgency to reach a ceasefire deal amid fears of
escalation across the wider region. Iran has threatened to retaliate against
Israel after the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on July
31.

The top U.S. diplomat also repeated U.S. caution against further escalation.
"It's also time to make sure that no one takes any steps that could derail this
process, and so we're working to make sure that there is no escalation, that
there are no provocations," he added.
The war erupted on Oct. 7 when Hamas militants rampaged into Israel, killing
around 1,200 people and seizing around 250 hostages, according to Israeli
tallies.

Israel's subsequent military campaign has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians,
mostly civilians, according to Palestinian health authorities, and reduced much
of Gaza to rubble.
