US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is intensively pushing for a sustained ceasefire in Gaza and discouraging Israel from launching an offensive into Rafah. He is engaging in shuttle diplomacy in the region and coordinating talks for a ceasefire tied to hostage releases. Blinken\'s visit coincides with US-sponsored Security Council resolution discussions for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Tensions between the Biden administration and the Netanyahu government are high, with growing domestic US frustration over the conflict.
