The U.S. secretary of state’s tour of the Middle East includes stops in Jordan and Israel, with a focus on improving humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken continues his tour of the Middle East on Tuesday, heading to Jordan and Israel with a focus on getting more humanitarian aid to civilians in the embattled Gaza Strip. In Jordan, Blinken is set to meet with Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi in Amman and Jordanian King Abdullah II — who has long pushed for increased humanitarian aid into Gaza and personally taken part in airdrops into the Palestinian enclave.
In Saudi Arabia on Monday, Blinken addressed the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying that the most effective way to “alleviate the suffering … is to get a cease-fire and the hostages home.” He added that the United States was pushing Israel to take steps to protect civilians, improve humanitarian conditions and keep aid workers safe. Blinken described the latest cease-fire proposal as “extraordinarily generous on the part of Israel.
