Blinken Postpones Middle East Visit

Axios reported that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has postponed his planned visit to the Middle East today, ahead of ceasefire talks in Gaza this week. The site, citing two unnamed sources, noted that Blinken's travel was delayed due to "the uncertainty surrounding the situation." Hamas fired two rockets targeting Tel Aviv for the first time in months, while Israel conducted separate airstrikes on Gaza that resulted in casualties. U.S. officials said on Monday that they expect the talks to take place on Thursday as scheduled.
