US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Cairo to discuss negotiation efforts with Egyptian officials regarding a ceasefire in Gaza. Blinken is expected to meet with Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and hold a press conference with Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty. The visit aims to keep up the pressure campaign for a deal between Israel and Hamas, although no breakthroughs are expected. This comes after a series of explosions in Lebanon, which Hezbollah blamed on Israel.
