Blinken meets Mohammed bin Salman in Saudi Arabia as US pushes for post-war deal [Video]

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh as part of a diplomatic tour across the Middle East. The meeting aimed to advance efforts for a lasting peace deal in the region. Despite diplomatic initiatives, the US reiterated its commitment to targeting Iranian assets through military strikes. Blinken’s tour also includes stops in Egypt, Qatar, Israel, and the West Bank, with a focus on resolving the recent Israel-Hamas conflict and securing the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. Normalizing relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel is considered crucial for achieving a permanent resolution to the Gaza situation. Blinken seeks to promote a proposal for a Gaza ceasefire and the release of hostages, involving a six-week pause in conflict activities.
