Secretary Blinken Arrives in Jordan Amid Middle East Tour | VOA News

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Jordan on Saturday to continue his Middle Eastern tour.

The visit came as Israel and Lebanon-based Hezbollah traded fire in one of the heaviest days of cross-border fighting in recent weeks.

Blinken held meetings earlier in the day with Erdogan in Istanbul, and then in Crete with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. The chief U.S. diplomat embarked on a Middle East diplomacy tour this week seeking to calm the situation in Gaza and soothe regional frictions.

The United States has urged a lasting peace and security for both Israelis and Palestinians. This involves achieving Palestinian political rights — notably the establishment of a Palestinian state with security assurances for Israel. #Gaza #Israel #Blinken #reels #videography #voanews
