US Secretary of State Antony Blinken lands in Jordan on the last leg of his Mideast tour that aims to consolidate an Egypt-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Palestine

In Gaza, Hamas leader Yehiyeh Sinwar told journalists on Wednesday that the group welcomed international reconstruction aid, as long as it did not come from Israel, and had no objections to international oversight.

"When I said we do not take money destined for aid, this is because we have comfortable sources of funds covering our activities," he said. In all, the Biden administration has pledged some $360 million to the Palestinians, restoring badly needed aid that the Trump administration had cut off. Those challenges include a hawkish Israeli leadership that seems unwilling to make major concessions, Palestinian divisions, years of mistrust and deeply rooted tensions surrounding occupied Jerusalem and its holy sites.The truce remains tenuous since tensions are still high in Jerusalem and the fate of the Palestinian families is not yet resolved.
