US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was in Israel Tuesday to push for a ceasefire in Gaza after his administration called for an end to the war in Lebanon "as soon as possible". It is his 11th trip to the Middle East since Hamas’s attack on Israel more than a year ago triggered the Gaza war, and his first since Israel’s conflict with Hezbollah escalated late last month. He is due to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other top officials, as Israel weighs its response to Iran’s October 1 missile attack. FRANCE 24’s International Affairs Editor Kethevane Gorjestani tells us more.
