BLINKEN: "I can't. We don't know why Hamas chose to release Natalie and Judith first. And I use the word 'first' advisedly because, again, we're hopeful that more follow. I can't speak to that. What I can speak to is our incessant efforts from day one to try to get people home, to try to get them out of Gaza back with their families and loved ones. That is continuing as we speak. This is something we're engaged in virtually around the clock."
