Blinken arrives in Israel to guarantee harm to Palestinians is minimized

As part of a mission focused on actions to reduce civilian losses during the conflict in Gaza, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has arrived in Israel, according to an AFP journalist who is accompanying him.

Prior to his departing for Israel, US President Joe Biden called for a humanitarian halt in the fighting, and Blinken said he will look to Israel for "concrete measures" to guarantee that harm to Palestinian civilians is minimized. /BGNES
