(BSS/AFP) - US Secretary of State Antony Blinken landed Monday in Tel Aviv for talks with Israeli leaders as he seeks to prevent the Gaza conflict from widening, said an AFP journalist travelling with him.
The top US diplomat, on his fourth trip to the Middle East since the Israel-Hamas war began on October 7, is expected to put pressure on Israel's government to reduce civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip.
