Blinken heads to Middle East again for talks on Gaza war, Israel-Hezbollah conflict
America's top diplomat Antony Blinken is set for another Middle East tour, aimed at reviving ceasefire negotiations to end the Gaza war and discussing a diplomatic solution between Israel and Hezbollah. Meanwhile, US special envoy Amos Hochstein has arrived in Beirut for meetings with Lebanese officials. He said Washington is working on a plan to end the conflict once and for all. Israeli strikes rained down across Beirut and reportedly hit a location near Lebanon's only airport, just minutes before a plane was scheduled to land. Sarah Coates reports from Tel Aviv.
