Why is Antony Blinken back in the Middle East?

The US Secretary of State has embarked on another diplomatic tour of the Middle East.
It is part of a push for a ceasefire agreement.
Washington is under increasing pressure as warnings grow over catastrophic famine in Gaza and a ground invasion in Rafah.
And the talks are happening as the US adopts its strongest language towards Israel yet, submitting a draft resolution to the UN that recognises the need for an 'immediate ceasefire' tied to the release of captives held by Hamas.
So what makes this visit any different from the previous five?
