Blinken held lengthy talks with Prime Minister Netanyahu in Israel.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, during his visit to Israel, met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and discussed various issues with him. The meeting lasted more than two hours and took place both in a narrow and in a wide circle. Blinken is also meeting with Netanyahu's key ally, Ron Dermer.

The visit comes amid tense relations between the US and Israel. The US is reportedly threatening to cut off arms supplies to Israel if the situation in Gaza does not improve. A leak of American intelligence data about Israel's military plans also became known. Top-secret documents were published online and caused concern in relations between the two countries.

Blinken's visit comes at a critical moment as Israel prepares to respond to an Iranian missile attack and ceasefire talks in Lebanon and Gaza are stalled. Blinken is making his 11th visit to the region since the war began last year and arrived in Israel during this sensitive period.

It is important to note that the data leak occurred as Israel completed preparations for a retaliatory strike against Iran, which attacked the country with ballistic missiles. The entire visit of the American diplomat takes place against the backdrop of an aggravation of the situation and the complication of relations between the United States and Israel.
