US top diplomat Antony Blinken will make a surprise visit to Bahrain, a State Department official says, the latest leg of his crisis tour of the Middle East.
After meeting Palestinian Authority President Mahmud Abbas in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Blinken will fly to Bahrain, home base of the US Fifth Fleet, for talks with King Hamad on preventing a regional escalation of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
