The United States remains “intensely focused” on freeing hostages held in Gaza despite the resumption of Israeli bombardment after a week-long truce, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said, AFP reports.
“We remained intensely focused on getting everyone home, getting hostages back, something that I also worked on today,” he said, after meeting Arab foreign ministers in Dubai.
Blinken met with the top diplomats of the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar and Bahrain during his brief visit to Dubai, as well as a representative of the Palestinian Authority.
