US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has arrived in the United Arab Emirates — his fifth stop in an intensive multinational trip to stop the war in Israel from expanding further.
The top US diplomat started his day in Saudi Arabia, meeting with the Saudi foreign minister and discussing protecting civilians and stopping the conflict. He is scheduled to meet with UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi.
Blinken travelled to Jordan, Qatar and Bahrain on Friday before arriving in Riyadh. He was in Israel on Thursday and will stop in Egypt on Sunday before returning to the US.
