U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is calling for urgent steps toward peace as violence between Israel and militant groups in the Middle East intensifies. Speaking to reporters in Tel Aviv today, Blinken emphasized the need for "urgent and sustained steps" to improve humanitarian conditions in Gaza, where Israeli forces continue to engage in fierce battles with Hamas militants. His visit is seen as a critical diplomatic push, potentially the last major U.S. effort to broker peace before the upcoming U.S. election, which could result in shifts in American foreign policy.
