Critical visit to Israel by the US, which called for a ‘humanitarian rupture’ in Gaza
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken calls for a humanitarian pause in the Gaza conflict
Today he went to Tel Aviv to pressure Israel on this issue.
Blinken, who traveled to Israel for the second time since the start of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, told reporters before the visit: “When I see a Palestinian child being pulled from the rubble of a collapsed building, it affects me as deeply as seeing to a Palestinian child.” child from Israel or anywhere else. “So this is something we have an obligation to do something about,” he said.
Blinken, who met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv, is expected to call for a pause in hostilities to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza in his meetings with Israeli officials.
It was noted that today the American minister will also meet with members of the Israeli war cabinet.
On the other hand, the White House statement stated that if there is a pause in hostilities, this pause must be temporary and regional and that the pause will not constitute an obstacle for Israel to defend itself.
The Israeli army announced today that it had “sieged central Gaza.”
