Blinken says he's confident more prisoners will be delivered


US President Joe Biden's organization is "confident" that more prisoners held by Hamas will be delivered, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday.

"We don't have the foggiest idea why Hamas decided to deliver Natalie and Judith (Raanan) first. I utilize the word first consciously because once more, we're confident that more follow," he said. "This is the sort of thing we're participated in essentially relentlessly."

He said US authorities have been locked in with accomplices in the locale and in converses with the people who could have an impact with Hamas to deliver the prisoners.

Blinken expressed that of the 10 Americans unaccounted for, some are accepted to be prisoners, yet he didn't give a precise figure.

"What we don't know for certain is whether a part of the unaccounted for are dead and have quite recently not been uncovered as of now, or whether they're detainee However, we have a really sincere thought that some number of the 10, in any event, are being held in Gaza by Hamas," he said.

At the point when found out if the US believes that Israel should postpone its ground activity until additional prisoners can be delivered. Blinken said the US is conversing with Israel consistently yet kept up with the choices for Israel to make.

Blinken later said the US stays worried over a possible heightening by Iranian intermediaries and is ready for that probability.

"We are doing whatever it may take to ensure that we can successfully shield our kin and answer definitively assuming we want to. This isn't the very thing we need, not what we're searching for. We don't need acceleration," he said.
