US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has delayed his visit to Israel until nextMonday, according to reports from Israeli media sources on Tuesday night. The visit was originally supposed to occur on Thursday.
Sources also claim that the reasons for delaying the visit are "technical matters only" and unrelated to the assassination of Saleh al-Aaruri, the deputy head of the political bureau of Hamas, in Beirut, which occurred on the same day.
