Blinken Wraps Up Mideast Trip

Handout photo shows Secretary Antony J. Blinken arrives in Cairo, Egypt, on Tuesday, August 20, 2024. Blinken sought during a whirlwind trip to the Middle East to inject urgency into efforts to broker a Gaza ceasefire deal, but departed the region on Tuesday with an agreement between Israel and Hamas still elusive. Blinken and mediators from Egypt and Qatar have pinned their hopes on a U.S. "bridging proposal" aimed at narrowing the gaps between the two sides in the 10-month-old war, after negotiations last week paused without a breakthrough.
