american berlin, thank you very much for joining us. us secretary of state anthony, blinking is an israel as part of a week long diplomatic tour aimed to try and prevent the war in gauze from spreading. blinking arrived in tel aviv late monday, he's there to meet these rarely present, consult, cancelled before meeting prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and the war cabinet is expected to push israel to do more to protect civilian lives . while in find some us, which is classified as a terrorist organization by the us and other countries, the united states also once more humanitarian aid for thousands, blinking spoke to reporters and saudi arabia right before boarding his plane to israel. will have an opportunity to share with his rarely views everything i've heard thus far on the strip and also to talk to them about the future direction of the military campaign. in gauze, i will press on the absolute imperative to do more to protect civilians. and to do

more to make sure that you mandatory the system is getting into the hands of those who need the dw, janelle de la on has more. i want secretary of state anthony blinking hopes to achieve on his latest visit. well, broadly speaking, he has a 2 fronted emission there. the 1st is that he wants to remind is really government of the american viewpoint in terms of how to conduct this war and gaza. it is known that washington is pushing israel for lower intensity operations involving fewer troops instead of the mass of aerial bombardment that israel is currently conducted . the idea there being that few of our troops could lead to fewer civilian casualties, or at the very least could enable more ease in terms of a distribution, humanitarian aid. the 2nd priority for blinking would be that he's trying to, of course, head off on a wider escalation of the israel, a gaza conflict into

a regional war. i made clashes with iran about the proxies in lebanon, and in the red sea. it's worth noting that this is a 5th visit to israel. it is just one country on a 9, a country tour of the region. and it clearly underscores just how concerned washington is at the prospect of this turning into a wider regional conflicts that could pull the us into yet another drawn out in middle east or something, of course that the u. s. has some experience of right. and you were saying this is lincoln's 5th visit to the region. are there any signs that as mediation is actually achieved anything in the last 3 months as well? 5th, a visit to israel, 4th, visit to the region. but uh, with the death toll in gauze reaching $22000.00 according to the home us run the

health ministry. i don't think that success is really the word that anyone is reaching for here. now, us officials of course, are always very careful to say that although they consult closely with israel, they cannot in fact tell israel what to do and it is on israel to decide how to prosecute this war. but of course, this is the point of diplomacy, right? like talking is better than not talking, also worth imagining how this would look like without us involvement. arguably, it is us pressure that has forced israel to allow in more humanitarian aid, even though it's still far below the level of what is in fact required for the affected palestinians. it's us carriers that are reacting to the threats in the red sea, and it is us pressure again, that is prompting israel to say now that it is prepared to transition to lower intensity operations involving fewer air strikes and fewer troops. even though the timeline on thought of is of course, open. now, of course,

a given the mass of devastation at the moment. it is fair to say that even though the us is expanding massive diplomatic resources, it is having trouble selling the fruits of its diplomatic labor not just to the region but to the wider world. all right, i'm afraid we'd have to leave it there. that was dw janelle dom allowing in washington reporting for us. thank you very much for joining us. meanwhile, and is rarely drawn, strikes in southern lebanon has reportedly killed a senior commander of the hospital and militant group has voted, put out a statement, confirming one of his commanders with some of us on l towel, was killed in a strike on monday, but provided no further details, lebanese secure resources said he was a member of huntsville, was lead, ride one force and died in an attack on the vehicle and the southern village of cuter, but so near the border with his real visit, the 2nd high profile, killing inside 11 on this year last week from us as deputy leader. so la warranty
