US Secretary of State Antony Blinken underscores the Biden administration’s commitment to establishing a Palestinian state during a phone call with Saudi counterpart Prince Faisal bin Farhan.

Blinken also stressed “the importance of urgently addressing humanitarian needs in Gaza and preventing the further spread of the conflict,” according to a US readout.

The top US diplomat “condemned continued attacks by the Houthis on commercial vessels operating in international waters in the southern Red Sea and urged cooperation among all partners to uphold maritime security,” the State Department says.
