US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to discuss the Gaza crisis and reiterated the call for a truce and support for a two-state solution. Blinken also reaffirmed the US commitment to achieving an enduring end to the crisis in Gaza and the establishment of a future Palestinian state with security guarantees for Israel. The Biden administration has continued its financial and diplomatic support for Israel, despite mounting Palestinian casualties and destruction in Gaza, and is working to secure a pause in hostilities to allow the release of captives and delivery of humanitarian assistance.
