US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is on his way to Israel. 

Once there, he'll meet with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 

Netanyahu and opposition leader Benny Gantz have formed an emergency government and war cabinet.  

US Correspondent Mitch McCann told Kate Hawkesby that they will only deal with bills and government decisions regarding the conflict. 

He said that it’s Israel’s latest step, and it’s predicted they’re preparing for a ground attack on Hamas.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has touched down for his first official visit to New Zealand.

He's one of several foreign politicians travelling to New Zealand as part of the Fifa Women’s World Cup 2023.

US correspondent Dan Mitchinson suspects Blinken plans to use this visit to shore up international relations between the regions following Hipkins' relations with China.

"The US has its own agenda, I think all three countries don't necessarily see eye to eye on policies, but also trade and security and human rights, which is something that can often get swept under the rug."
