Watch again: Blinken holds news conference with Jordanian Foreign Minister amid Israel-Hamas war

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken holds news conference with Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry.

The United States has dismissed growing international calls for a ceasefire but has sought to persuade Israel to accept localised pauses - an idea rejected by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after he met Blinken on Friday.

Blinken is on his second trip to the region since Israel and Hamas went to war on Oct. 7, when the Islamist militant Palestinian group raided Israel from Gaza, in a rampage Israel says killed 1,400 people, with more than 240 others taken hostage.
