US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has arrived in Tel Aviv, his third trip to the region since Oct 7, and is set to meet Israeli leaders to discuss extending the temporary truce and boosting humanitarian aid into Gaza.
“Looking at the next couple of days, we’ll be focused on … doing what we can to extend the pause so that we continue to get more hostages out and more humanitarian assistance in,” Blinken said at a stop in Brussels.
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is determined to secure the release of all hostages held by Hamas after American Liat Beinin was freed yesterday, the White House said in a statement.
