US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Israel. Earlier today, he met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and held talks with the war cabinet.
It's part of a week-long diplomatic tour aimed at preventing an escalation of the war in Gaza.
Blinken said that the "daily toll of war on civilians in Gaza, particularly on children, is far too high" as Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip continue.

Speaking at a press conference in Tel Aviv, Blinken also insisted that "Palestinians must be allowed to return home as soon as conditions allow" and that the United States "rejects any proposals advocating for the resettlement of Palestinians outside Gaza."

Nevertheless, he reiterated that "it is vital that Israel achieve its objective that [the Hamas terror attacks of] October 7 can never happen again." He added that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had assured him that the permanent displacement or resettlement of Gazans was not his government's objective.

Blinken also said that Israel must "do all it can to remove obstacles" to humanitarian aid reaching Gaza and said: "We want this war to end as soon as possible."

Blinken has told Israeli leaders to avoid harming civilians in Gaza. He urged Israeli leaders to move towards creating a Palestinian state. Blinken also reiterated US support for efforts to secure the release of all hostages currently held in Gaza.
