US Secretary of State Antony Blinken (L) shakes hands with Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas during their meeting in Jordan's capital Amman on October 13, 2023.
Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian ambassador to the United Kingdom, said Sunday that the United States has not taken a hard enough stance in support of Palestinians.
But Blinken and Abbas still diverged when it came to demands for an immediate ceasefire.
Blinken has expressed support for "humanitarian pauses" of the violence in order to ease aid deliveries and hostage rescues.
"Unfortunately, we haven't heard that and that's why we did not come up with a joint statement," Zomlot said.
