Antony Blinken says there is Israeli ‘consensus’ on Gaza ceasefire plan
Speaking in Tel Aviv after a series of meetings with Israeli officials, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he believes there is a “strong consensus” among Israeli leaders to move forward with the Gaza ceasefire plan. Blinken mentioned that Netanyahu, whom he met yesterday, reiterated his support for the plan. He also received positive signals from Defence Minister Gallant and other Israeli officials. “This proposal and moving forward on it is the first step,” Blinken told reporters in the Israeli capital. “We want to see it come to fruition.”
Continuing his remarks in Tel Aviv, Blinken addressed Hamas’s role in ceasefire negotiations. He stated that Hamas’s expression of support for a UN-backed Gaza ceasefire plan is a “hopeful sign”. The US remains committed to “the defeat of Hamas”, but Blinken emphasized that military means alone are not sufficient to achieve this goal. “There has to be a clear political plan, a clear humanitarian plan, in order to ensure Hamas does not in any shape or form resume control of Gaza”.

Russia’s new co-operation pact with Iran suspended, RIA agency reports
June 11 (Reuters) – A new agreement between Moscow and Tehran on comprehensive cooperation has been temporarily suspended due to problems that Iranian partners are facing, Russia’s RIA state news agency reported on Tuesday citing a Russian foreign ministry official.
“This is a strategic decision of the leadership of the two countries,” RIA cited Zamir Kabulov, the foreign ministry official as saying. “The process … has stopped due to problems that our Iranian partners have.”
There was no immediate comment from the Iranian side.
Russia and Iran have developed close ties in recent years, pushing against what they see as pernicious U.S. foreign policy in an effort to establish what they say would be a fairer multipolar world order.
Work on a new major agreement between Moscow and Tehran was announced in September 2022 during a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the late President of the Islamic Republic Ebrahim Raisi.
Raisi, a hardliner seen as a potential successor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed when his helicopter crashed in May.
