Blinken called on Israel Friday to limit Palestinian civilian deaths.
DOHA – US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called on Israel Friday to limit Palestinian civilian deaths as he worked to set up safe areas in the Gaza Strip, seeking to keep calm in the Arab world following a major Hamas attack.
Even before an expected ground operation, Israel has killed at least 1,799 people in relentless strikes on the Gaza Strip since the Hamas attack, and has cut off food, water and electricity.Blinken praised Qatar, which has longstanding relations with Hamas, for showing "urgency" in efforts to persuade the militants to free an estimated 150 hostages.
As anger swells around the Arab world, Blinken also discussed ways to protect civilians in Hamas-controlled Gaza where Israel called Friday on more than one million people to evacuate ahead of an expected ground invasion. The United States is meanwhile working with both Egypt and Israel to let Americans and other foreign nationals leave through the Rafah border crossing, the US official said.Blinken opened the day consulting in Amman with King Abdullah II as well as Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas.
After Qatar, the top US diplomat made a stop in Bahrain, meeting with Prime Minister and Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa. He is also visiting Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt on his tour.
