Mr. Blinken, on his fifth trip to the region since the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel, arrived in Cairo to meet with President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt before traveling to Doha later on Tuesday for discussions with Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, the emir of Qatar, and Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al-Thani, the country's prime minister and foreign minister.
He is also scheduled to hold meetings with leaders in Israel and the West Bank during the trip. All are key players in negotiations over a potential pause in the fighting in Gaza.
