Israel Hamas War: 'This is a time of great tension', US Secretary of State Fears Gaza war may increase

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned on Sunday that the ongoing fighting in Gaza could escalate and pose a threat to the security of the entire West Asia. These days Antony Blinken is visiting Israel and other Arab countries. Antony Blinken met with Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani in Doha on Sunday. While talking to the media after this meeting, the US Foreign Minister said the above.

Why is there a danger of the Israel-Hamas war increasing?

It is noteworthy that almost three months have passed since the Israel-Hamas war. During this period, about 22 thousand people have lost their lives in Gaza and about 1200 people have died in Israel. Thousands of people have also been displaced in this fighting. Recently, Iran, which is supporting Hamas, was also shaken by two bomb blasts and about 100 people lost their lives in these blasts. Iran has accused Israel of this. Israel is also attacking Hezbollah in Lebanon.

At the same time, Iran-backed Houthi rebels are attacking commercial ships in the Red Sea in support of Palestine. This has increased the danger on international shipping routes. There is anger in many countries due to the increasing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Israel clearly says that its fight with Hamas will continue for a long time and will not stop until all the hostages are released. America's bases are also being attacked in Arab countries. This is why America fears that the war between Israel and Hamas may spread throughout West Asia.

Antony Blinken will reach Saudi Arabia on Monday

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the hostages should be released as soon as possible. Blinken expressed concern over the large number of people being displaced and the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Qatar's Prime Minister said that talks are going on for a ceasefire in Gaza and America is also trying for this. Blinken has so far visited Greece, Turkey, and Jordan before reaching Qatar on his Arab tour. He left for Abu Dhabi on Sunday night. He will leave for Saudi Arabia on Monday. In Saudi Arabia, Blinken will meet Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Blinken will also visit Israel soon.
