US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says a number of countries could play an instrumental role, “at least on an interim basis,” if needed in helping provide security for post-war Gaza.
Speaking at a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing, Blinken makes the comments when asked if he thought that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates had the capability or the will to run the Gaza Strip.
