The US State Department said Secretary of State Antony Blinken has called top Israeli officials to discuss a proposed deal for a truce in Gaza, AFP reports.

Blinken spoke with war cabinet minister Benny Gantz and defence minister Yoav Gallant, according to statements.

In both calls, he “commended” Israel for the proposal, which was outlined by US President Joe Biden, and said the onus was on Hamas to agree.
