Blinken to visit Middle East to make another push to defuse conflicts


21-10-2024 03:15 PM

Ammon News - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will make another push for a ceasefire when he heads to the Middle East on Monday, the State Department said, seeking to kickstart negotiations to end the Gaza war and also defuse the spillover conflict in Lebanon.

The top U.S. diplomat's latest trip to the region, his eleventh since the Oct. 7, 2023 attack, comes even as Israel has intensified its military campaign in Gaza and in Lebanon against the Iran-aligned Hezbollah militia.

The U.S. is trying to defuse complex interlocked conflicts after Israel raised the stakes by assassinating the leaders of Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza while showing no sign of reining in its ground and aerial offensives.
