Antony Blinken is traveling to the Middle East this Monday to encourage a truce between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The head of American diplomacy visits Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Israel and the occupied West Bank.

The Israeli army again bombed Khan Younes on Sunday, in the south of the territory where, according to it, leaders of the Palestinian Islamist movement are hiding. On the diplomatic front, negotiations are continuing to reach a second truce, after that of a week at the end of November.
