Blinken and the Saudi crown prince discussed co-operation to end the conflict between Israel and Hamas
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made his sixth visit to the Middle East since the conflict between Israel and Hamas militants began. He met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia during this visit. This information was reported by Reuters.
Blinken and the Crown Prince engaged in discussions about the regional situation and cooperation to end the crisis in Israel. Throughout the talks, the US Secretary of State stressed the significance of addressing the humanitarian requirements in the Gaza Strip and preventing any further escalation of the conflict.
Hamas is designated as a terrorist organization by several countries, including the United Stat, Israel, Canada, the European Union, and others.
Influential US Representative, addressing journalists during a flight to the capital of Saudi Arabia, he stressed that the current ceasefire initiative is entirely dependent on Hamas, and it is impossible to accurately predict whether or when a breakthrough will be achieved. This comment highlights the complexity and uncertainty of the current situation in Israel and the Gaza Strip. The pursuit of peace and stability in the Middle East remains a priority for the global community, but achieving it remains a challenge that requires further efforts and negotiations.
US hopes for peaceful resolution of conflict: statement by spokesman
The US representative also expressed hope for the successful conclusion of peace efforts and the finding of an agreement that will lead to an end to the four-month conflict. His statement emphasizes that the solution to this issue will remain in the hands of all parties to the conflict, and only joint efforts and dialogue can lead to the desired result.
It should be noted that in order to achieve peace in the region, it is necessary to take into account and satisfy the interests of all parties, as well as provide for humanitarian needs and restoration of the affected areas. The international community continues to support efforts to end the conflict and create conditions for stability and prosperity in the Middle East region.
It is also worth noting that Blinken is actively working to gain support for US post-ceasefire plans, including the reconstruction and governance of the Gaza Strip, the establishment of a Palestinian state, and the normalization of relations between Arab countries and Israel.
Anthony Blinken prepares for sixth visit to Israel since military clashes began
It was previously reported that the Secretary of State of the United States of America, Antony Blinken, is preparing for an upcoming visit to Israel. This visit will be his sixth since the start of military clashes between Tel Aviv and Hamas.
In early January, during his previous visit to Israel, Blinken expressed concern over “consistent” reports of Israeli attacks that were hitting both humanitarian targets resulting in significant civilian casualties. Simultaneously, the United States and Israel established a communication channel to address the specifics of the events unfolding in the Gaza Strip.
