Blinken arrives in Israel amid missiles in bid to revive ceasefire push
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has landed in Israel in a bid to revive ceasefire talks to end the wars in Gaza and Lebanon.
Binken’s arrival on Tuesday marks his 11th visit to the Middle East since the war in Gaza began more than a year ago. However, it is his first since Israel’s conflict with Hezbollah escalated late last month, and expectations for his attempt to rein in the hostilities appear low.
The visit got off to an inauspicious start as Hezbollah launched medium-range missiles towards Tel Aviv, temporarily shutting down Ben Gurion Airport, at which Blinken landed, according to Israeli media.
