美国国务卿安东尼·布林肯(Antony Blinken)在美国广播公司(ABC)的“本周”节目中表示，周四以色列和哈马斯之间的停火对于让美国处于“转向建设更积极的东西”的地位“至关重要”，他强调了该地区两国解决方案的必要性。
“现在必须从处理坟墓开始人道主义局势在加沙。然后重建，重建失去的东西。至关重要的是，让双方都努力开始真正改善人们的生活以色列人巴勒斯坦人可以生活在同等程度的安全、和平和尊严中，”布林肯周日告诉《本周》主播乔治·斯特凡诺普洛斯。
拜登政府的首席外交官强调，总统承诺巴勒斯坦和以色列两国解决方案是该地区前进的“唯一道路”，但指出这不会立即发生。
“看，最终，这是确保以色列作为一个犹太民主国家的未来的唯一途径，当然，也是给予巴勒斯坦人他们有权享有的国家的唯一途径。这是我们必须去的地方，”布林肯说。
“但我不认为这是今天必须要做的事情，”他继续说道。“我们必须开始创造条件，让双方以有意义和积极的方式建立两个国家。”
但布林肯强调，如果这种积极的参与得不到满足，暴力循环可能会继续。
停火是在以色列和哈马斯之间近两周的暴力冲突后达成的，这场冲突造成250多人死亡，数百人受伤。整个周末都在举行。
布林肯计划在未来几天前往该地区，并将会见巴勒斯坦、以色列和该地区的对应方，讨论救援工作。
斯特凡诺普洛斯还就政府在暴力事件后向加沙提供人道主义援助而不援助哈马斯的计划向布林肯施压。
“总统说，他想做到这一点，但不要再向哈马斯进货——重建加沙，但不要再向哈马斯进货。你是怎么做到的?他们在加沙掌权，”斯特凡诺普洛斯问道。
布林肯强调，美国过去与“受信任的独立各方”合作，帮助加沙重建，并补充说，挑战将是增强巴勒斯坦当局的权能。
“事实是，哈马斯给巴勒斯坦人民带来的只是毁灭。布林肯回答说:“它在控制加沙期间对加沙的严重管理不善，当然，这些对以色列平民不分青红皂白的火箭袭击引起了他们这样做的反应，因为以色列有权自卫。”。
“因此，我认为这里真正的挑战是帮助巴勒斯坦人，特别是帮助温和派巴勒斯坦人和巴勒斯坦权力机构为他们的人民带来更好的结果。当然，以色列在这方面也有深远的作用，”他补充说。

继伯尼·桑德斯之后，斯特凡诺普洛斯还向布林肯施压，要求民主党内的进步人士对美国向以色列出售武器施加压力。，提出了不赞成的决议。
布林肯反对党内政治，但强调政府致力于在武器销售问题上与国会“充分协商”。
“总统同样明确表示，我们致力于给以色列自卫的手段，尤其是在这些针对平民的不分青红皂白的火箭袭击中。任何国家都会对此做出回应，我们致力于以色列的防御，”布林肯说。
“与此同时，任何武器销售都将在与国会充分协商的情况下进行，我们致力于此，”他补充说。“我们希望确保这一过程有效运作。”
Israel-Hamas cease-fire put US in position 'to building something more positive': Blinken
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on ABC's "This Week" that Thursday's cease-fire between Israel and Hamas was "critical" to putting the United States in a position "to make a pivot to building something more positive," placing a heavy emphasis on the need for a two-state solution for the region.
"That has to start now with dealing with the gravehumanitarian situationin Gaza. Then reconstruction, rebuilding what's -- what's been lost. And critically, engaging both sides in trying to start to make real improvements in the lives of people so thatIsraelisand Palestinians can live with equal measures of security, of peace and dignity," Blinken told "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos on Sunday.
The Biden administration's top diplomat underscored the president's commitment to a two-state solution for Palestine and Israel as the "only way" forward for the region, but noted that would not happen immediately.
"Look, ultimately, it is the only way to ensure Israel's future as a Jewish and democratic state and, of course, the only way to give the Palestinians the state to which they're entitled. That's where we have to go," Blinken said.
"But that, I don't think, is something for -- necessarily -- for today," he continued. "We have to start putting in place the conditions that would allow both sides to engage in a meaningful and positive way toward two states."
But Blinken stressed that if that positive engagement was not met, the cycle of violence was likely to continue.
The cease-fire came after nearly two weeks of violence between Israel and Hamas that left more than 250 dead and hundreds more injured. It has held throughout the weekend.
Blinken plans travel to the region in the coming days and will meet with Palestinian, Israeli and regional counterparts to discuss relief efforts.
Stephanopoulos also pressed Blinken on the administration's plan to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza following the violence without aiding Hamas.
"The president said he wants to do that without restocking Hamas -- rebuilding Gaza without restocking Hamas. How do you do that? They're in charge in Gaza," Stephanopoulos asked.
Blinken stressed the U.S.' past work with "trusted independent parties," to help with reconstruction in Gaza, adding the challenge would be to empower Palestinian Authorities.
"The fact of the matter is Hamas has brought nothing but ruin to the Palestinian people. Its gross mismanagement of Gaza while it has been in charge, and, of course, these indiscriminate rocket attacks on Israeli civilians which have elicited the response that they did because Israel has a right to defend itself," Blinken replied.
"So I think what's the real challenge here is to help the Palestinians and particularly to help moderate Palestinians and the Palestinian Authority deliver better results for their people. And, of course, Israel has a profound role to play in that too," he added.
Stephanopoulos also pressed Blinken on pressure from Progressives in the Democratic Party on U.S. arms sales to Israel, after Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., introduced a resolution of disapproval.
Blinken demurred on the intra-party politics, but stressed that the administration was committed to working "in full consultation" with Congress on arms sales.
"The president has been equally clear we're committed to giving Israel the means to defend itself, especially when it comes to these indiscriminate rocket attacks against civilians. Any country would respond to that, and we're committed to Israel's defense," Blinken said.
"At the same time, any arms sale is going to be done in full consultation with Congress, we're committed to that," he added. "And we want to make sure that that process works effectively."
