US Secretary of State Blinken is planning to visit Israel amid frustration that Hamas has not released any American citizens. This is Blinken's fourth visit to Israel since the major Hamas attack.

This week, U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will visit Israel. This was reported by the Jerusalem Post with reference to its own sources, according to UNN.

Details 

It is noted that Washington is disappointed that Hamas has not released a single US citizen in two rounds of prisoner exchanges with Israel. At the same time, U.S. officials hope that at least three Americans will be released within the next two days. 

Addendum 

The publication emphasizes that this will be Blinken's fourth visit to Israel after October 7, when Hamas militants launched a massive rocket attack on Israeli territory and crossed the border into the Gaza Strip.

As a reminder, 

Hamas released a second group of 17 hostages, including 13 Israelis and 4 Thais. Among those released was 9-year-old Irish-Israeli citizen Emily Hand.
