RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh today, a US official tells Reuters.

Blinken is in Saudi Arabia as part of a broader trip to the Middle East aimed at discussing with Arab partners post-war Gaza and to press Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take steps US President Joe Biden demanded this month to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
