Departing for Israel, the top US diplomat did not confirm reports that he would push for humanitarian pauses in the fighting while meeting with Israeli leaders on Friday.

“We will be talking about concrete steps that can and should be taken to minimise harm to men, women children in Gaza,” he said. “This is something the United States is committed to. I’m gonna get to the details here, but it’s pretty much on the agenda.”

He added that the trip would also seek to deter a wider escalation of the fighting, while focusing on freeing captives held in Gaza and helping more US citizens leave the territory. President Biden said earlier that 74 dual citizens have so far been able to leave Gaza.

Finally, Blinken said, “We will be talking about how we can set conditions for a durable sustainable peace, durable sustainable security for Israelis and Palestinians alike.”
