BBC World Service - Newshour, US Secretary of State holds Israeli-Palestinian talks

Antony Blinken in bid to breathe life into ceasefire between Israel and Hamas

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has said that he's heard both Israeli and Palestinian leaders recognise the need to address the roots of their conflict. He said a two-state solution - establishing a Palestinian state alongside Israel - was the only option. Mr Blinken was speaking on the first day of a Middle East trip in which he aims to consolidate the ceasefire that ended the fighting between Israel and Hamas militants. 

Also on the programme: We’ll hear from an opposition activist on the run in Belarus on whether the forced landing of a plane on Saturday could trigger change; and the latest from Mali following its second military coup in the space of nine months
