U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken heads back Monday for Israel and Arab countries in a new bid to push a Gaza ceasefire after Israel killed Hamas' leader, the State Department said.

Blinken, on a trip expected to run through Friday, "will discuss the importance of bringing the war in Gaza to an end, securing the release of all hostages and alleviating the suffering of the Palestinian people," the State Department said in a statement.
