Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the Middle East is experiencing an “incredibly volatile time,” telling reporters that “we’ve not seen a situation as dangerous as the one we’re facing now across the region since at least 1973.” The escalating violence includes recent reports of attacks in Syria, Yemen and Lebanon, as well as the drone strike in Jordan that killed three American troops — which may have been the result of U.S. air defenses confusing enemy and friendly drones, The Washington Post reported.

Blinken, speaking alongside NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, reiterated President Biden’s vow to respond to the deadly assault on U.S. troops in Jordan and said the retaliation “could be multileveled, come in stages, and be sustained over time.”
More than a dozen employees of UNRWA, the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, allegedly played a role in Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack, according to an intelligence dossier compiled by the Israeli government and reviewed by The Post.
U.N. Secretary General António Guterres said that UNRWA will run out of money at the end of February if large donors, including the United States, continue to pause funding in response to the allegations.
Thousands of people have been trapped inside the al-Amal medical complex in Khan Younis for more than a week as fighting rages outside. The United Nations has described the situation as a “continuing siege.”
At least 26,637 people have been killed and 65,387 injured in the Gaza Strip since the war began, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Israel estimates that about 1,200 people were killed in Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack.
