Blinken’s Fourth Visit to the Middle East Amid Escalating Conflict: What You Need to Know

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

U.S. officials said that due to growing concerns that the conflict between Israel and Hamas will escalate into a regional war, Secretary of State Blinken will depart on the 4th for his fourth visit to the Middle East since the war with Kazakhstan began.

Agence France-Presse reported that unnamed US officials revealed that Blinken is expected to leave Washington for a visit to Israel on the evening of the 4th. The official did not provide other details about the trip, but Blinken visited several Arab countries on previous trips to the Middle East.

This will be Blinken’s fourth visit to the region and fifth visit to Israel since the Palestinian armed group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7 last year, triggering massive retaliatory actions.

Hamas’s second-largest figure, Eluri, was killed in an attack in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, on the 2nd. The outside world suspected that Israel was responsible, triggering people’s concerns about the spread of war.

Iranian people commemorated the fourth anniversary of the death of the late Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander Soleimani on the third day. Two explosions occurred at the memorial ceremony, killing at least 84 people. Iranian officials named the United States and Israel as those behind the attack, signaling they would retaliate, although the United States denied any involvement.

Israel and Iran have been sworn enemies for many years. After the outbreak of the Israel-Kazakhstan war, there was a surge in related violence by Iranian-backed militias in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Yemen.

There have been numerous deadly exchanges of fire on the Lebanese-Israeli border, and U.S.-led coalition forces have been attacked in Iraq and Syria.

So far, the Middle East has been able to avoid a more intense and widespread war, but the Iranian bombing has shocked global markets, causing international oil prices to rise by more than 3 percent.

Shipping in the Red Sea region, which is vital to global trade, has also come under attack. Twelve countries including Britain, the United States and Japan issued a joint statement on the third day, strongly demanding that the Yemeni anti-government armed organization “Youth Movement” immediately stop illegal attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea and release illegally detained ships and crews, otherwise “you will bear the consequences” ”. Countries that have joined the joint declaration include the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and New Zealand.

Countries stressed that the joint statement was a clear “warning” to the “youth movement”. The statement pointed out that the “youth movement” deliberately attacked civilian ships and naval vessels without legal justification.

Hezbollah Leader Warns US of Regional War if Israel’s Attacks on Gaza Continue

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the Iranian-backed Lebanese Hezbollah (Hezbollah), warned the United States on the 3rd that if Israel does not stop its attacks on Gaza, the conflict may expand into a regional war. “We are prepared for all possibilities… I want to tell the Americans that whoever wants to prevent a regional war must quickly stop attacking Gaza,” he said in a televised speech.

Reuters reported that Nasral also threatened Israel’s main ally, the United States, suggesting that Hezbollah was ready to confront U.S. warships in the Mediterranean. This is Nasral’s first speech since the war between Israel and the Palestinian armed organization Hamas broke out on October 7 this year.

Hezbollah, an army with powerful firepower and an ally of Hamas, has been fighting Israeli forces along Lebanon’s border with Israel in the most serious conflict since war with Israel began in 2006.

Nasral added that Hezbollah was not concerned about the naval firepower the United States has built up in the Middle East since the crisis began. He said: “You Americans know very well that if a war breaks out in this region, your fleet will be useless, air combat will not do any good, and the price will be… your interests, soldiers and fleets.”

Gaza has been under attack by Israeli forces since Hamas attacked Israel four weeks ago. Nasral said whether the confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah on the Lebanese border escalates depends on the situation in the Gaza corridor.

A spokesman for the White House National Security Council said the United States was aware of Nasrallah’s speech but would not engage in a “war of words” and that Hezbollah and other state or non-state actors should not try to exploit the tension between Israel and Hamas. conflict. At the same time, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will visit Israel again in the short term to show support for Israel in its fight against Hamas.

Hamas killed 1,400 people and took more than 240 hostages during its attack on Israel on October 7. Israel immediately retaliated, vowing to eliminate Hamas, which governs Gaza.

Israel’s air strikes, siege and ground attacks in Gaza have aroused global concern about the humanitarian situation in Gaza. Local food shortages, medical services have collapsed, and more than 9,000 civilians have died.

Blinken told reporters after meeting with top Israeli officials that the United States is determined to avoid the emergence of a second or third front in the conflict. He also called on Israel to take measures to protect civilians in Gaza.

The United States has rejected calls from Arab countries and several other countries for a comprehensive ceasefire, but hopes for more temporary and partial ceasefires to allow aid to enter Gaza and allow Hamas hostages to leave.

Blinken met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for nearly an hour, and then the two met with the emergency cabinet formed by Israel after the attack. Netanyahu later said Israel would not agree to a temporary ceasefire until hostages held by Hamas were released.
