US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrives in Israel as he attempts to seal a truce in the four-month-old Gaza war.

Blinken, who had flown from Saudi Arabia to Egypt and then Qatar on Tuesday in what is his fifth crisis tour of the Middle East, lands in Israel late in the evening, according to an AFP journalist.
