00:00U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Tel Aviv to help push for a ceasefire deal
00:05between Israel and Hamas.
00:08This is a decisive moment, probably the best, maybe the last opportunity to get the hostages
00:16home.
00:17Israel's government says it's cautiously optimistic, but the Palestinian militant group
00:22Hamas is accusing Israel of trying to blow up a potential deal.
00:27Hamas wants to end the war in Gaza while Israel wants a temporary pause in fighting.
00:32The war erupted in October after Hamas attacked Israel, killing around 1,200 people.
00:38Hundreds of others were taken hostage.
00:40Health authorities in Gaza say more than 40,000 people have been killed by Israel's assault
00:45on the Strip.
