Blinken Lands in Israel for Third Middle East Trip Since War Began

Bloomberg Quicktake published this video item, entitled “Blinken Lands in Israel for Third Middle East Trip Since War Began” – below is their description.

Israel and Hamas extended their truce late Monday after agreeing to release more hostages and prisoners, and Washington said it was dispatching its top diplomat to the region for more talks over the conflict in Gaza.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will visit Israel for the third time since Hamas attacked on Oct. 7, his office said, as he landed in Brussels for a NATO meeting.

Bill Burns, director of the US’s Central Intelligence Agency, and the director of Israel’s Mossad are in Doha for a series of meetings initiated by Qatar to discuss the potential terms of a deal beyond the two-day truce extension, a person briefed on the visit said, adding Egyptian officials are also attending. Axios had earlier reported the Burns visit.
