In rare scenes for the top US diplomat, who has faced furor at home and abroad over President Joe Biden's support for Israel in its campaign against Hamas, Blinken was greeted outside his Tel Aviv hotel by Israelis waving US flags and chanting, "Thank you, Biden! Thank you, Blinken!" Blinken, who also met privately with hostage families, told them that freeing the hostages...

The action came as university admi...

Geneva (AFP) - The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said on Tuesday that $267 million in its funding was still suspended over allegations some UNRWA staff participated in the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel.
