US Secy Of State Antony Blinken Meets Palestine President Mahmoud Abbas Amid Israel Hamas War | Gaza

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in the Israeli-occupied West Bank city of Ramallah on Thursday for a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas. Blinken arrived in an armoured convoy at the headquarters of the Palestinian Authority, which has partial administrative control in the West Bank, shortly after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. Blinken said a temporary truce between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas had produced results and the United States hoped it would continue. Blinken also met Israeli President Isaac Herzog, almost two months into the war that has broken out in Gaza after the Oct. 7 attack during which Israel says Hamas killed 1,200 people and kidnapped 240. Herzog said about 150 hostages remained in Gaza. #blinken #westbank #israel #gaza #livenews n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
