US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has arrived in Japan for a two-day meeting of G7 foreign ministers set to seek a common line on Gaza, as calls for a ceasefire mount.
Blinken, who just completed a whirlwind tour of the Middle East, made no public comment as he arrived in Tokyo.
The US has resisted calling for a ceasefire, calling instead for pauses in the fighting and insisting that Israel has the right to respond to the October 7 attack by Hamas.
In Turkey on Monday, Blinken said Washington was working “very aggressively” to expand aid for trapped civilians.
