U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken highlighted “measurable progress” in Gaza’s humanitarian situation but urged Israel for further action. Speaking at a US-Gulf Cooperation Council meeting in Riyadh, Blinken emphasized ceasefire as vital for alleviating Gaza’s crisis and preventing war escalation. His Middle East trip aims to address Gaza’s governance post-conflict and enlist European support for its reconstruction. Gaza, devastated by six months of Israeli bombardment, awaits aid amid discussions involving Arab states and Europe. Egypt’s potential role in ceasefire talks with Hamas adds to diplomatic efforts.
