Gaza aid will be a 'top priority' for Blinken: Sullivan
Humanitarian issues in Gaza will be a top priority for US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on his trip to the Middle East, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Sunday.
"The needs of the Palestinian people are something that are going to be front and center," Sullivan told the CBS program "Face the Nation."
Washington believes it is vital to secure a deal to release the remaining hostages Hamas took during its attack on Israel, including Americans, and an accompanying humanitarian pause, Sullivan added.
"This is in the national security interest of the United States. We are going to press for it relentlessly," Sullivan said. "So this is a paramount priority for us."
Blinken is en route to the Middle East on a trip that will include stops in Israel, Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the occupied West Bank.
