Matt Dusk sings Sinatra in Halifax/PEI/Moncton | SaltWireTEL AVIV - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken landed in Tel Aviv on Thursday as part of a Middle East tour to show Washington's solidarity with Israel after the attacks by Palestinian Hamas militants and to work to prevent the conflict from widening.
After Israel, Blinken will head to Jordan, where he will meet with King Abdullah and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. "There's a community of something in the order of 500 to 600 Palestinian Americans, more or less, resident in Gaza. Some of them want to leave...and we are working to organize safe passage," the official said.
Another priority for Blinken will be to convey a message of deterrence to Iran and any Iran-backed groups to avoid getting involved in the conflict.
