U.S. President Joe Biden's top aides were heading to the Middle East on Wednesday seeking to advance efforts to reach an elusive Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal and help ensure a smooth transition in Syria following the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad, APA reports citing Reuters.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken was set to visit Jordan and Turkey, while U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan planned stops in Israel, Qatar and Egypt in coming days, U.S. officials said.
Blinken, who will visit Aqaba, Jordan and Ankara, Turkey through Friday, will "reiterate the United States’ support for an inclusive, Syrian-led transition to an accountable and representative government," the State Department said.
