Blinken says Gaza cease-fire is 'imperative' after killing of Hamas leader in Iran

Secretary of State Antony Blinken says it is "imperative" that there be a cease-fire in Gaza after the killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran.

Blinken made the comments while speaking at a forum in Singapore on Wednesday. His comments came just hours after Haniyeh was in Tehran for Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's swearing-in on Tuesday. Pezeshkian was sworn in with chants of "Death to America, Israel."

"I have seen the reports. Nothing takes more importance than getting a cease fire.
