Blinken to work on extending truce during Israel visit

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said that he would work with Israelis during an upcoming trip to Israel on extending the temporary truce.

Speaking in Brussels following a Nato meeting, Blinken said the continuation of the truce would mean more captives can be freed and more humanitarian assistance could reach Gaza.

"Clearly, that's something we want. I believe it's also something that Israel wants," he said.
