U.S. Secretary of State: Talks are underway regarding the protocol between Israel and Hamas.
Jin10 data reported on October 5, local time, that U.S. Secretary of State Rubio stated that talks are underway regarding the protocol between Israel and Hamas, hoping that the details of the protocol can be finalized as soon as possible. When asked if this means the end of the Gaza war, Rubio replied, "Not yet, there is still some work to be done." Rubio indicated that Hamas has agreed in principle to post-war arrangements, but the so-called second phase of disarmament will not be easy and will be very difficult. Rubio expressed hope for the prompt release of hostages. He also mentioned that it is not possible to establish a governance structure in Gaza that excludes Hamas within three days.
