Die gesamte Bevölkerung des umkämpften Gazastreifens ist nach Einschätzung von US-Außenminister Antony Blinken von akuter Ernährungsnot betroffen. Nach den anerkanntesten Bewertungen der Lage litten «100 Prozent der Bevölkerung in Gaza unter schwerwiegender akuter Ernährungsunsicherheit», sagte Blinken zum Abschluss eines Besuchs auf den Philippinen. «Das ist das erste Mal, dass eine ganze Bevölkerung so eingestuft wurde», fügte er hinzu. Israel müsse sich zwar verteidigen und dafür sorgen, dass von Gaza keine Gefahr mehr ausgehe. Zugleich müsse es aber der Versorgung jener, die dringend human...

US-Außenminister Antony Blinken hat den Philippinen angesichts zunehmender Spannungen mit China eine anhaltende Unterstützung der USA zugesichert.

Die Sicherheitsverpflichtungen gegenüber dem Partner seien «eisern», sagte Blinken bei einer gemeinsamen Pressekonferenz mit seinem Amtskollegen Enrique Manalo in Manila. «Diese Wasserwege sind für die Philippinen, ihre Sicherheit und ihre Wirtschaft von entscheidender Bedeu...

"The United States believes in that vision -- a region where economies are free to choose their own path and their own partners, where problems are dealt with ope...

Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden ordered US ships and warplanes to move closer to Israel in a show of support on Sunday, while sending fresh military aid after attacks by the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

Washington (AFP) - US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday that his coming visit to China aims to open up better communications "by addressing misperceptions and avoiding miscalculations."

Beijing (AFP) - Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told the United States not to "betray its promises" on Taiwan at a rare meeting Sunday with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, as tensions run high over the island. Months of simmering tensions spiked in October after President Joe Biden declared that the United States would defend Taiwan in the event of an attack by Beijing -- a statement seemingly at odds with long-held American policy towards the self-ruling island. The White House quickly walked back Biden's comments -- insisting there has been no policy change -- and both sides Sunday stre...

Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden's top cabinet members unsuccessfully tried to dissuade him from pulling all US troops from Afghanistan, hoping he would leverage the withdrawal to seek a political settlement, a new book says.

Blinken, a longtime aide to Biden who had previously...

Washington (AFP) - The United States expects the Taliban to live up to their commitments now that US troops have pulled out of Afghanistan, but any legitimacy or support will need to be "earned," US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday. America's top diplomat, speaking just hours after the final US evacuation flights left Kabul, said Washington has suspended its diplomatic presence in Kabul as of Monday and shifted its operations to Qatar. "Our troops have departed Afghanistan," Blinken said. "A new chapter of America's engagement with Afghanistan has begun. "It's one in which we will...
