US Secretary of State Antony Blinken speaks during a press conference in Tel Aviv, on October 12, 2023. AFPPIX: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday began a tour of Arab capitals as he seeks to build pressure on Hamas while Israel readies a likely massive offensive on the Gaza Strip following the militants' attacks.
The United States has publicly blessed reprisals by Israel, which on Friday called for the immediate relocation of 1.1 million people in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, which is already under an Israeli blockade. “We’ll continue pressing countries to help prevent the conflict from spreading, and to use their leverage with Hamas to immediately and unconditionally release the hostages,“ Blinken said late Thursday in Tel Aviv.
Saudi Arabia in the weeks before the attacks had spoken of progress in US-led diplomacy to normalise relations with Israel -- a landmark step for the conservative kingdom that is guardian of Islam's two holiest sites. Blinken said he spoke to Israel “about possibilities for safe passage for civilians who want to leave or get out of the way in Gaza”.The nearly 88-year-old Abbas, whose Palestinian Authority enjoys small levels of autonomy in the West Bank, is a longstanding foe of Hamas, whose control of the Gaza Strip has led to a 17-year Israeli blockade.
