Israel-Gaza war
Secretary of State Antony Blinken left Thursday evening for the Middle East for the fourth time since Israel launched its war on Gaza. This trip comes in the wake of a US raid that killed an Iranian-linked militia leader in Baghdad, and the suspected Israeli killing of a Hamas leader in Lebanon, raising fears of a broader war in the region.
