Blinken reiterated U.S. support for Israel's military operations in the Gaza Strip and urged the Israeli army to refrain from harming civilians in its operations against Hamas. He stressed the importance of humanitarian assistance and called for unhindered access to humanitarian assistance in Gaza.
Blinken also declared that the United States opposes the forced departure of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and called on Israel to cooperate with Palestinian moderates in governing post-war Gaza. He said the United States would like to see a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through dialogue and negotiation and stressed the importance of peace and security.
However, it is worth noting that the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has already caused a large number of people**. So far, 23,210 Palestinians have reportedly died, including nearly 10,000 children. This figure is alarming and has sparked widespread concern and condemnation from the international community.

The meeting between U.S. Secretary of State Blinken and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu demonstrated the U.S. attitude of support and cooperation toward Israel. However, for the Palestinians, U.S. and Israeli support is not enough to address the humanitarian crisis and security threats they face.
The root cause of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict lies in the denial of Palestinian rights and the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. Unless these issues are resolved, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will continue and may flare up again.
The international community should strengthen its support for the Palestinians and promote dialogue and negotiation between Israel and the Palestinians in order to achieve lasting peace. Only by settling disputes through peaceful means can the interests and security of both Palestine and Israel be truly realized.

In the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the international community should play a more active role in promoting the two sides to resolve their disputes through peaceful means. At the same time, assistance and support to the Palestinians should be strengthened to help them rebuild their homes and restore their economies.
As one of the world's largest economies, the United States should play a more active role in promoting the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians. The United States should take stronger measures to force Israel to abandon its occupation of Palestinian territories and respect the rights of the Palestinians.
Lasting peace and stability can be achieved only through a peaceful resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The international community should work together to promote dialogue and negotiation between Israel and the Palestinians in order to achieve that goal.
