US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrives in Riyadh at the start of a new crisis tour aimed at pushing an elusive Israel-Hamas truce and hostage deal, and increasing humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.
Blinken, who will later visit Jordan and Israel, will meet in the Saudi capital with visiting Gulf Arab and European foreign ministers on “day-after” plans for reconstruction of post-war Gaza, a State Department official said.
