US President Joe Biden held crisis talks on Monday on a potential Iranian counterattack on Israel as his administration said it was working around the clock to avoid all-out war in the Middle East.
"We are engaged in intense diplomacy, pretty much around the clock, with a very simple message -- all parties must refrain from escalation," Blinken said after joining other top officials in a White House meeting. Biden had been hoping in his final months in office to end the Gaza war and work on clinching a landmark deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia.After staunchly backing Israel's war against Hamas, Biden has made clear his frustration with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the killing of Haniyeh, who was involved in the ceasefire negotiations.
In a veiled allusion to US frustrations, Blinken said,"What it really comes down to, really, is all parties finding ways to come to an agreement, not look for reasons to delay or to say no."- Fears of spiraling conflict -Biden met in the White House's heavily secured Situation Room with his national security team including Vice President Kamala Harris.
King Abdullah called for"an immediate and permanent ceasefire to end the catastrophe in Gaza" and for"ceasing all escalatory measures," according to a readout by the Jordanian royal court.
