Netanyahu’s tough stance weakened Blinken’s appeals for regional patience while the Palestinian death toll rose to more than 10,000, according to Gaza’s health ministry. Israel’s anti-war activists struggle to be heard - ‘We must reach some other solution and end the cycle of bloodshed’ Blinken made a surprise visit to Cyprus on Sunday where he was warmly greeted by President Nikos Christodoulides at Larnaca’s old airport. Blinken thanked Cyprus for receiving US evacuees who arrived on ships from Israel and discussed a proposed humanitarian maritime corridor between the island and Gaza, although the strip does not have a port capable of handling cargo. In the afternoon, a pro-Palestinian rally drew hundreds at Freedom Square in Nicosia. This was the second protest this week.
