Blinken: US aiming for "durable, sustainable peace" in Gaza

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says he's working on finding a
"durable, sustainable peace" for Israelis and Palestinians.

He made the comments just before boarding a plane to Israel, where
he'll meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday.

He also said he plans to talk to Israel about "concrete steps" to
minimize danger to civilians.

It comes after US President Joe Biden said a "pause" in fighting would
help to get civilians and hostages out of Gaza.

Blinken said peace was imperative.
