Blinken in Saudi Arabia for Gaza cease-fire talks - DW News
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has arrived in Saudi Arabia as part of a new push to broker a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas.
He's set to meet with leaders of Gulf Arab states - who've been mediating a plan for a truce and the return of hostages held in Gaza since the Hamas-led terror attack on October 7. At the same time, a Hamas delegation is expected to meet Egyptian officials in Cairo for talks also aimed at securing an agreement.
The negotiations are taking place, as the threat of a ground invasion continues to loom over Rafah, where over half of Gaza's population is sheltering. - Aired on 04/29/2024.
