The United States remains "intensely focused" on freeing hostages held in Gaza despite the resumption of the Israel-Hamas war after a week-long truce, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday, reports BSS.

"We remained intensely focused on getting everyone home, getting hostages back, something that I also worked on today," he said, after meeting Arab foreign ministers in Dubai.
