The US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken arrived in the morning in Cairo, final stop on his Middle East diplomatic marathon on the conflict in the Gaza Strip, according to reporters accompanying him.

Coming from Israel, Blinken is currently meeting with the Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, before boarding the plane to the United States after visiting nine countries, including Turkey and Saudi Arabia, as well as the occupied West Bank, calling to avoid an escalation of the conflict in Gaza.

During his tour, the head of American diplomacy mainly exerted pressure on Israel in order to his military campaign against Hamas to be more targeted and to protect Palestinian civilians.

Blinken also insisted at each station on the need to open “the road to an independent Palestinian state” and invoked the will of Arab countries to work together for a regional integration and reconstruction.

“We are also focused on the day after this conflict in Gaza and the important work that needs to be done to help Gaza recover,” he said on Wednesday night during a lightning visit to Bahrain.

After meeting the president of the Palestinian Authority yesterday in Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank, Blinken said that Mahmoud Abbas was determined to reform the Palestinian Authority to possibly reunite the war-torn Gaza Strip with the occupied West Bank.

Abbas later traveled to Jordan where he discussed “pressing for an immediate ceasefire” in Gaza during meetings with Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in the Eritrean port city of Aqaba. Sea.
