Secretary of State Antony Blinken will return to Israel on Monday to talk "about the way forward" after several days of shuttle diplomacy between Arab states, which he said shared the U.S. determination to ensure Israel's conflict with Palestinian militant group Hamas does not spill over elsewhere in the region.
"There's a determination in every country I went to, to make sure that this conflict doesn't spread," Blinken told reporters as he prepared to leave Cairo. "They are using their own influence, their own relationships, to try to make sure that this doesn't happen." Israel has vowed to annihilate Hamas — which controls the Gaza Strip — after its fighters stormed Israeli towns eight days ago, shooting men, women, and children and seizing hostages in the worst attack on civilians in the country's history.
