Regarding the possibility of a ceasefire, Kirby said: “The initial signs in Cairo are that the negotiations have been productive, but we have more negotiations ahead of us in the coming days.”

In response to a question regarding US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s statement that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to Washington’s cease-fire proposal, this senior American official explained: He came out of the meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu and said that the Prime Minister This offer has been accepted. This is true, but we need to go into the details of how to implement this proposal.

He added: “We have had constructive discussions with our Israeli counterparts in the past few days, and this includes the phone call that the (US) President had with the (Israeli) Prime Minister a few days ago… We are in Cairo.” They are in Cairo. We need Hamas to participate in the negotiations. We have to agree on the details and we will focus on this issue in the coming days.

Regarding Washington’s assessment of the possible threat from Iran and Hezbollah, Kirby said: I don’t want to get into an intelligence assessment. The situation is still very dangerous. I cannot predict what Iran will or will not do. We believe they are still ready to do something. So we have to be ready. We have strengthened our military capabilities in the region.

He went on to say: I will not go into the information evaluation about Hezbollah again, but we must definitely take Hezbollah’s rhetoric seriously. We know that there is an exchange of fire almost every day. We cannot ignore it. I cannot say anything at this time that would indicate any kind of imminent action, but I stress that we take this potential threat very seriously.
