U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday said he held a 'very productive' meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh, a critical diplomatic engagement as Israel prepared to launch a ground assault in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip and Washington worked to contain the conflict.

"The Secretary highlighted the United States' unwavering focus on halting terrorist attacks by Hamas, securing the release of all hostages, and preventing the conflict from spreading," the State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a statement. Blinken has embarked on his most extensive trip to date to the Middle East, working with Arab allies to prevent the war from spiralling into a wider conflict and help secure the release of hostages kidnapped by Hamas militants.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government also told the militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon, which neighbours Israel to the north, not to start a war on a second front, threatening the "destruction of Lebanon" if it did.
