France's Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné continues his trip to the Middle East. “The violence by the settlers (Israelis in the West Bank) must stop,” he said.

He added that “nothing [could] justify” the “tragedy” faced by the inhabitants of the Palestinian territory. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Saudi Arabia on Monday as part of a new tour aimed at encouraging a truce in the deadly fighting.
