U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Israel on Tuesday for his 11th visit to the region since the Israel-Hamas war began. He is expected to meet with top officials to renew cease-fire efforts, but both sides are standing firm on their demands. Israel is still at war with Hamas and Hezbollah, and is also expected to strike Iran. Blinken's arrival coincided with a rocket attack by Hezbollah, which was intercepted by the Israeli military. The United States, Egypt, and Qatar have been brokering talks between Israel and Hamas, but negotiations stalled in August.
