The US secretary of state will travel to Egypt on Sunday, then to Israel and the West Bank
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will travel to Egypt on Sunday and then to Israel and the West Bank amid a new wave of violence in the region following an Israeli raid that killed nine people in Jenin, the State Department said today.
The head of American diplomacy will first travel to Cairo on January 29 and 30, where he will have a meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
He will then go to Jerusalem, where he will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while he will also have a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah.
Since the beginning of the year, 20 Palestinians – including five minors – have been killed in hostilities with Israelis. According to an AFP count, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has claimed the lives of more than 200 Palestinians and at least 26 Israelis in the past year.
