Raine Maida on marriage, music and the Maritimes | SaltWireAMMAN - U.S.-allied Arab states will press Secretary of State Antony Blinken for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza at a meeting of foreign ministers in Amman on Saturday, as Washington tries to persuade Israel to agree to temporary pauses to allow in aid.
Health officials in Hamas-run Gaza say more than 9,250 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since then. The Israeli army has struck Gaza from the air, imposed a siege and launched a ground assault, stirring global alarm at humanitarian conditions in the enclave. Food is scarce and medical services are collapsing.
A senior State Department official said Blinken's talks with Netanyahu and his war cabinet about humanitarian pauses on Friday mirrored an earlier push last month for access for humanitarian goods into Gaza. U.S. special envoy for Middle East humanitarian issues David Satterfield told reporters traveling with Blinken that Israel's concerns were understandable, but that assurances that Israel will not target specific places or routes were a"strategic imperative" to get aid to those who need it.
