Blinken warns of the dangers of invading Rafah and talks about alternatives. The Blinken-Gallant meeting took place hours after the cancellation of the visit of a high-level Israeli delegation to Washington.
Israel canceled the visit in protest against Washington's failure to use its veto power in the UN Security Council to prevent the issuance of a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. The meeting between Blinken and Gallant was held at the State Department headquarters in Washington on Monday, hours after Israel canceled a visit.
