Blinken speaks in Israel: Watch live
Secretary of State Antony Blinken (D), who just arrived in Israel to press for a humanitarian “pause” in Gaza, is slated to give remarks Friday morning.
Blinken’s visit to Israel is his third since the start of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas early last month. It comes after President Biden earlier this week called for a “pause” himself. However, the White House has pushed back against a cease-fire.
Blinken met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday as well as his war cabinet. The secretary of State is expected to visit Amman, Jordan later in his trip.
Blinken’s remarks are scheduled to begin soon.
