US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement to reporters that Blinken "will meet officials in the Israeli government and will have other stops in the region."

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will head to Israel, Friday, as part of a new Middle Eastern tour, as the war waged by Israel on the Gaza Strip enters its twenty-fifth day, according to what his spokesman announced.

US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement to reporters that Blinken "will meet officials in the Israeli government and will have other stops in the region."

Israeli media reported the news of this visit, quoting Israeli officials.

For his part, US President Joe Biden discussed, by telephone, Tuesday, with Jordanian King Abdullah II, "emergency mechanisms to reduce violence, calm rhetoric, and reduce regional tensions."

The White House said in a statement that the Democratic president reiterated the United States' "steadfast support for Jordan."

The statement added that Biden and King Abdullah II agreed “on the need to ensure that Palestinians are not forcibly displaced from Gaza.”

The United States is the main supporter of Israel and currently provides it with significant military aid.

On the other hand, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller announced in a statement that Blinken spoke by phone on Tuesday with Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

Miller added that Blinken reaffirmed to Herzog Washington's support for Israel's right to defend itself, at the same time calling on Israel to take "measures to limit the harm to civilians."

Blinken went to Israel a few days after the unprecedented attack launched by Hamas, on a visit to show solidarity and coordinate a response.

Following that visit, Blinken made shuttle diplomatic tours in the region, which led him to Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, and Egypt, eventually returning to Israel.

The Secretary of State was accompanied by US President Joe Biden, who met with Israeli government officials and Israeli victims during a visit he made to Tel Aviv on October 18, which was limited to one day.

On Tuesday, Blinken appeared before a Senate committee discussing additional funding for national security, but Palestinian protesters repeatedly disrupted the session, and some of them chanted “ceasefire now,” “Palestinians are not animals,” and “shame on all of you” before they were taken out of the hall.

During the session, Blinken touched on what the current conflict could lead to, noting that the Palestinian Authority must regain control of the Gaza Strip, which has been under Hamas control since 2007.
