US secretary of state Antony Blinken arrived in Saudi Arabia on Monday, the first stop in a broader trip to the Middle East aimed at discussing with Arab partners post-war Gaza and to press Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take the concrete and tangible steps US President Joe Biden demanded this month to improve the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
In Riyadh, Blinken is expected to meet senior Saudi leaders and hold a wider meeting with counterparts from five Arab states — Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan — to further the discussions on what governance of the Gaza Strip would look like after the war, according to a senior state department official.
