  • Secretary of State Antony Blinken is returning to the Middle East this week on his 12th visit since the Israel-Hamas war erupted last year.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to return to the Middle East for his fourth diplomatic mission in the region since the onset of the Israel-Hamas conflict on October 7, 2023. His visit aims to address the ongoing war, which has resulted in significant casualties and displacement, with over 18,000 Palestinian deaths reported by Gaza's Health Ministry and 1.9 million people displaced. Blinken's agenda includes discussions on increasing humanitarian aid to Gaza, preventing the conflict from escalating into a broader regional war, and exploring pathways towards a sustainable peace, including the potential establishment of a Palestinian state. His trip will include stops in Israel, the West Bank, and several Arab nations, where he will engage with leaders to discuss these critical issues.
