Antony Blinken Arrives in Lebanon for Ceasefire Talks

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has arrived in Israel as part of efforts to revive stalled ceasefire negotiations in Gaza. However, it is unclear if either Israel or Hamas is willing to compromise on their preconditions for a ceasefire. The situation remains tense, with Hezbollah launching a missile attack at an Israeli military base near Tel Aviv. Blinken's visit marks his 11th to the region since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, but thus far, no movement towards a ceasefire has been observed. Israel remains at war with Hamas, and tensions with Hezbollah in Lebanon continue to escalate.
