US-allied Arab states will press secretary of state Antony Blinken for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza at a meeting of foreign ministers in Amman on Saturday, as Washington tries to persuade Israel to agree to temporary pauses to allow in aid.

Arab states to press Blinken for ceasefire

The United States has dismissed growing international calls for a ceasefire but has sought to persuade Israel to accept an localized pauses idea rejected by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after he met Blinken on Friday.

Blinken is on his second trip to the region since Israel and Hamas went to war on October 7, when the Islamist militant Palestinian group raided Israel from Gaza, in a rampage Israel says killed 1,400 people, with more than 240 others taken hostage.

Health officials in Hamas-run Gaza say 9,488 Palestinians, including 3,900 children, have been killed in Israeli attacks since then. The Israeli army has struck Gaza from the air, imposed a siege and launched a ground assault, stirring global alarm at humanitarian conditions in the enclave. Food is scarce and medical services are collapsing.

Blinken is in Amman for meetings with Arab officials after visiting Tel Aviv on Friday.
