US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has landed in Israel once more for another round of shuttle diplomacy, Report informs via Sky News.
It follows a frantic six-country tour through Arab nations aimed at preventing the fighting from igniting a broader regional conflict.
The visits appeared to achieve some success, with a deal struck in Cairo expected to allow foreign nationals to exit Gaza through the Rafah crossing in return for humanitarian aid being allowed in.
The US has stressed its full support for Israel since Hamas's attacks, but in recent days has urged its leaders to show restraint as they prepare to mount a ground offensive.
