US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrives in Israel to renew Gaza ceasefire talks and discuss the future of the enclave. However, a breakthrough before the US election seems unlikely. Blinken's trip comes as the Israeli military intensifies its campaign in Gaza and Lebanon against Iranian-backed Hezbollah. He will focus on ending the war, improving humanitarian assistance, and addressing security and governance issues. Experts say Hamas and Israel are unlikely to make significant concessions before the election. The Biden administration sees the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar as a possible opening to end the war, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says fighting will continue.
