Israel, not US, will decide when to end war against Hamas, Blinken says – US secretary of state says Israel has ‘right intent’ when it comes to minimizing civilian casualties, but results don’t always attest to that | The Times of Israel

Israel, not the US, will decide when to end its war against Hamas in Gaza, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Sunday, in the wake of reports that Washington has been exerting pressure on Israel to wrap up operations by the end of the year.
Speaking to CNN’s Jake Tapper about the war, which has entered its third month, Blinken said that the US has been conducting discussions with Israel about its “duration” as well as “how it’s prosecuting this campaign against Hamas.”
