The US is ramping up pressure on Israel for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Tel Aviv today to deliver this message to Israeli leaders. He arrived just hours before the US will submit a draft to the UN Security Council calling for an “immediate and sustained ceasefire.” Blinken has been on a diplomatic blitz of the Middle East during the recent days – it was his sixth trip to the region since the war began with Hamas’s terror attack on Israel on October 7. DW correspondent Tania Krämer and Middle East expert journalist Karim El-Gawhary explain what can be expected from this visit, how Israel may react to this ceasefire initiative by the US and how the Palestinian civilians may benefit from the Blinken visit.
