DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Israel cannot achieve “genuine security” without a pathway to a Palestinian state, insisting such a move could help unify the Middle East and isolate Israel’s top rival: Iran. Speaking at World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in the Swiss ski resort of Davos, Blinken said Wednesday that the view of leaders in the Arab and Muslim world have changed on Israel and the creation of a Palestinian state would help Israel integrate in the region. Iran’s foreign minister has graced the same hallways of the glitzy event, warning in a talk that fighting could intensify in the region if Israel doesn’t end its campaign in Gaza.
