Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas "logically" could happen in an interview to Bloomberg on Thursday. 

"I say that with all of the caution that comes with that statement, because we've been very close before," he said. "We've had a lot of these 'Lucy and the football' moments where you're getting ready to kick the football and Lucy pulls it away."

"But what's changed is this: Hamas knows that the cavalry is not coming to the rescue."
