US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warns that the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza could “metastasize” and threaten security in the wider Middle East.
“This is a moment of profound tension in the region. This is a conflict that could easily metastasize, causing even more insecurity and even more suffering,” Blinken tells a news conference in Qatar.
The secretary of state departed Qatar and is arriving in the UAE before traveling to Saudi Arabia, Israel and Egypt.
