US intervenes in Middle East conflict / Blinken calls on Netanyahu to call for

The whole planet has turned its eyes away from Israel where the last two days the conflicts that started as clashes between the police and the Muslim believers, escalated into exchanges of fire and rockets between the Israeli army and the Hamas militants. Dozens of people have been killed and hundreds injured.

After the UN Security Council failed to reduce tensions and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the continuation of the bombing campaign, US Secretary of State on President Biden's order called the head of the Jewish government and called for a ceasefire and an end to the violence. .

According to information published by the White House, during the conversation Blinken recognized Israel's right to self-defense, but told him that dialogue at the moment is the right solution to the crisis. "Our expectation and hope is that the conflict will end soon, but Israel has the right to self-defense," the White House said in a statement.

It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.
