United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveled to the West Bank to meet with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas during his trip to the Middle East amid growing international concern regarding Israel's war with Hamas and its effects in the region.
"The Secretary reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to the delivery of life-saving humanitarian assistance and resumption of essential services in Gaza and made clear that Palestinians must not be forcibly displaced," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement.
At least 150 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since Hamas's attack on Oct. 7, nearly a month ago, according to CNN.“I have no words to describe the genocide and destruction suffered by our Palestinian people in Gaza at the hands of Israel’s war machine, with no regard for the principles of international law,” Abbas told Blinken, according to the PA's official Wafa news agency.
