Secretary of State Antony Blinken is turning his attention to Ukraine, NATO, and the Western Balkans after weeks of intense focus on Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza.
Blinken has spent much of the last month-and-a-half deeply engaged on the Gaza crisis, making two trips to the Middle East. Now, amid signs that a cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas due to expire on Monday may be extended, Blinken is departing for Brussels for a NATO foreign ministers meeting.
In Brussels, the alliance will reaffirm its support for Ukraine's defense against Russia's invasion, explore ways of easing tensions between Kosovo and Serbia, and look at preparations for NATO's 75th anniversary next year.
