The American Secretary of State Blinken is expected to arrive in Israel today to meet with the Israeli leadership in order to put pressure on Israel to reach a deal with Hamas. Blinken is expected to continue his journey to other countries in the Middle East to put pressure wherever he can. The Biden administration sees this as a major goal, against the background of the upcoming elections.
A senior American told the CBS network that the operation to rescue the abductees in Nuseirat complicates matters in this context.
At the same time, the US will distribute a draft proposal for a vote in the UN Security Council in which there is a call for a ceasefire in Gaza based on the “Biden initiative”.
