TEL AVIV—Israel must make “hard choices” if it wants to normalize relations with more of its neighbors and should support Palestinian leaders who are willing to live side-by-side with Israelis, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday in Tel Aviv.
Mr. Blinken in recent days has toured Israel’s Arab neighbors to discuss plans for the future governance of Gaza and integration in the Middle East. He is now in Israel for talks with Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet, formed after the Oct. 7 attacks by Palestinian Hamas terrorists that Israel says killed 1,200 people.
