The top U.S. diplomat is expected to press Israeli officials to allow more humanitarian aid into besieged Gaza.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Israel Friday to press for more humanitarian aid to be allowed into besieged Gaza, while the Israeli military said its troops tightened their encirclement of Gaza City, the focus of Israel's campaign to crush the enclave's ruling Hamas group.
More than 9,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry, and Israeli authorities say another 1,400 people have died in there, mainly civilians killed during Hamas' initial attack. Blinken is making his third trip to Israel since the Hamas attack. This one takes him to Tel Aviv and Amman, Jordan, and follows President Biden calling for a humanitarian 'pause' in the fighting.
