ARTICLE SUMMARY (2024-10-22)
Written by Samir Hosni US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has arrived in Israel.
This is Blinken’s 11th trip to the region since October 7, returning to the region after his last trip a month ago.
The State Department announcement did not mention the other countries Blinken will visit.
Blinken will arrive in the region as Israel prepares to attack Iran in response to an Iranian ballistic missile barrage on Israel earlier this month.
US and Israeli officials have been discussing the response in recent weeks, with Israeli officials telling Washington they will refrain from launching attacks on Iranian nuclear or energy sites that could lead to a major escalation between the two countries.

The number of martyrs in Gaza is increasing to approach 45 thousand and thousands of wounded, most of them children and women. Iran also announced that it aims for peace and does not want to engage in a comprehensive war that could burn the region.

France will organize, next Thursday, at the initiative of President Emmanuel Macron, the "International Conference in Support of Lebanon", in light of the war raging there between the Israeli army and Hezbollah.
On September 27, Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli raid on the southern suburbs of Beirut, the party’s stronghold.
Another diplomatic source noted that the Saudis have diverted their attention from Lebanon in recent years, holding the political class responsible for the country’s bankruptcy and the collapse of its economy.
But as signs of a regional war loom between Israel and its American ally on the one hand and Iran on the other, he indicated that Riyadh "realizes" the need to support any process aimed at resolving the Lebanese crisis.
Bitar said that "this conference is better than nothing, but we would have liked there to be a political roadmap and greater pressure on Israel."
