The Gaza militant group launched its biggest sustained assault in years, prompting Israel's military to call up reservists and order retaliatory strikes.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke Saturday with foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt, reiterating Israel's right to self defense, calling for coordinated efforts to halt the Hamas attacks, and discussing 'the unprecedented scale and brutality of the Hamas attacks on Israeli territory,' according to a State
Department spokesman. Following his call with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan, the two sides agreed to remain in close coordination, according to the State Department. The U.S. has recently been working to broker normalization in diplomatic ties between Saudi Arabia and Israel, an effort that could be complicated by the attacks.
