US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has landed at Ben Gurion Airport ahead of meetings tomorrow with Israeli leaders about the war in Gaza.
He was in Saudi Arabia and Qatar earlier today for meetings, as the Biden administration works to prevent the conflict from spreading.
“We agreed to work together and coordinate our efforts to help Gaza stabilize and recover, to chart a political path forward for Palestinians, and to work toward long-term peace and security and stability,” he said in Saudi Arabia, the sixth leg of his visit.
