US Secretary of State's mission to alleviate Israel-Gaza crisis faces obstacles
The US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, embarked on a mission to alleviate the Israel-Gaza crisis but faced challenges. Meetings with Arab foreign ministers produced no new progress, while rare public disagreements with Arab allies strained relations.
