US Secretary of State Antony Blinken took his diplomatic push on the Israel-Hamas war to the occupied West Bank on Sunday, trying to assure Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas that the Biden administration was intensifying efforts to ease the plight of Gaza’s civilians.

The second aid convoy destined for Palestinian civilians reached Gaza, as Israel widened its attacks to include targets in Syria and West Bank and the Israeli prime minister warned Hezbollah militant group that if it launches its own war, “we will cripple it with a force it cannot even imagine.”
