During a meeting in Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken discussed the governance of Gaza after the conflict, with the US advocating for a reformed Palestinian Authority to take over, while Netanyahu has not committed to this plan. Both leaders also addressed the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the need for increased aid, following criticism of Israel's blockade of northern Gaza. Additionally, they strategized on countering threats from Iran, particularly in light of recent attacks linked to Iranian proxies. Blinken's visit, part of a broader Middle East tour, aims to ease regional tensions and potentially restart peace talks with Hamas. The discussions also touched on the potential for a hostage deal and the overall security situation, including Israel's military operations in Lebanon. This meeting underscores ongoing US-Israel collaboration amid complex geopolitical challenges in the region.
