Secretary Blinken returns to Mideast amid Israel-Hamas war

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is returning to the Middle East amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. Before boarding a plane for Tel Aviv, Blinken said “these are challenging times.” As he did during a visit to the region last month, Blinken will stress U.S. support for Israel and try to prevent a wider Mideast war as he visits Israel and Jordan.
