U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will travel to Israel on Saturday and will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Blinken's office said, in a visit that could be dominated by discussion of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Bennett has been trying to mediate an end to the month-old Russian invasion of Ukraine, the biggest assault on a European state since World War Two. Moscow calls the assault a "special operation" to disarm and "denazify" its neighbor.
