The US State Department announced that Secretary of State Antony Blinken will visit Israel later this week to show support for its government.

State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a press conference yesterday, Tuesday, that Secretary Blinken will arrive in Israel on Thursday. While Miller did not provide additional information about the logistics, saying that “this is a visit that we are still preparing,” it aims to show full American support for Israel.

"Our message will be one of solidarity and support," Miller said. He added: "We are there (in Israel) to support them as they (the Israelis) fight these brutal terrorist attacks, and to talk about the additional assistance we can provide to them."
