US Secretary of State Blinken to arrive in Israel on Sunday
ANKARA (AA) – US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is scheduled to arrive in Israel on Sunday to push for a cease-fire agreement, reported Israeli media.
Israel’s Public Broadcasting Corporation said that Blinken’s expected visit is the ninth of its kind since Israel waged its deadly war on Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023.
During his visit, Blinken is expected to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior officials to discuss the cease-fire negotiations and broader regional concerns, it added.
Those talks were followed by an announcement by mediators on Friday that two days of negotiations in Doha had concluded, during which a new proposal was presented to Hamas and Israel to narrow the gaps between them.
Israel has killed nearly 40,100 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 92,500, according to local health authorities.
More than 10 months into the Israeli onslaught, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.
Israel is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice.
