RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has received US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the Saudi Press Agency said early Thursday.
They discussed “Developments in the Gaza Strip, and efforts made to stop military operations and deal with their security and humanitarian repercussions.
The pair “reviewed bilateral relations and areas of joint cooperation, in addition to the latest regional and International developments.”
Blinken landed in Jeddah earlier on Wednesday on the first leg of a regional tour that was extended to include Israel.
On Thursday, he is due to travel on to Egypt, which neighbours Gaza and whose envoys have been involved in previous mediation efforts.
