Diplomacy Blinken flies in amid fresh Washington push to stop war spreading

Making his fourth trip to the Middle East in three months, Blinken will try to convince the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to do more to protect civilians in Gaza, allow more aid into the territory and rein in outspoken far-right ministers who have called for the mass resettlement of Palestinians - rhetoric the US has condemned as inflammatory and irresponsible.

The Biden administration has offered staunch support to Israel since the outbreak of the war three months ago, but Netanyahu has angered Washington by so far refusing to offer any detailed public plans for the governance of Gaza when Israel's military offensive ends, and by rejecting the US's preferred options.

Israel launched its offensive after Hamas sent thousands of militants into southern Israel, who killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducted about 240 others.
