STORYLINE:
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Saturday joined a meeting of Arab foreign ministers in Amman.

The ministers from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Qatar, Jordan and Palestine Liberation Organization official, were meeting in the Jordanian capital to discuss ways to stop the war between Hamas and Israel.

Blinken arrived in Jordan on Friday to continue his latest diplomatic mission to increase humanitarian aid deliveries into Gaza and prevent Palestinian civilian casualties as Israel intensifies its war against Hamas.

Blinken, whose call for Israel to temporarily pause some military operations in specific parts of Gaza to allow assistance in and foreign nationals out appeared to be rejected by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after they met in Tel Aviv earlier Friday.

Earlier this week, Jordan recalled its ambassador to Israel and told Israel’s envoy not to return to Amman at least until conditions in Gaza have improved, further complicating Blinken’s efforts.

In addition to aid distribution, allowing foreigners out and the release of hostages held by Hamas, Blinken is looking to get Jordan and other Arab states to begin to think about the future of Gaza if and when Israel succeeds in its aim to eradicate the group.
