US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Tuesday, for his 11th trip to the region since Israel's war on Gaza erupted after the Hamas-led 7 October attacks.
"[Blinken] underscored the need to capitalise on Israel’s successful action to bring Yahya Sinwar to justice by securing the release of all hostages and ending the conflict in Gaza in a way that provides lasting security for Israelis and Palestinians alike,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said.
The two also discussed Israel's war on Lebanon and the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
