Secretary of State Antony Blinken wraps up his visit to Israel on Wednesday, after encountering resistance in meetings with officials over Israel’s treatment of Palestinians and a plan for Gaza’s future. The two sides did agree, however, that the United Nations should assess conditions in northern Gaza to determine when residents might return. U.S. and U.K. forces shot down a barrage of drones and missiles launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebels in the southern Red Sea, in the latest attack on international shipping, U.S. Central Command said Tuesday night.
