US Secretary of State adds a stop in Bahrain in his shuttle diplomacy efforts

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will travel to Bahrain on Friday, adding yet another stop to his multinational trip aimed at stopping the war in Israel from expanding further.

The top US diplomat is currently in Doha, Qatar. On Thursday, he was in Israel, meeting with senior officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the families of Americans killed or taken captive by Hamas. Earlier Friday, he met separately with King Abdullah II and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

From Doha, Blinken will travel on to Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt before returning to the United States on Sunday.
