The Guardian — May 1, 2024, 07:00 AM UTC
Summary: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Tel Aviv to secure a ceasefire to bring hostages home. Blinken met with Israel's president and plans to meet with the prime minister. A proposed deal with Hamas could lead to a 40-day pause in fighting for hostage and detainee release. Israel reopened the Ashdod port for aid delivery to Gaza, where aid falls short. Netanyahu threatens a ground assault on Hamas.
