US secretary of state Antony Blinken has sought to build support for planning a post-war future for Gaza as he met wary Arab leaders during his latest urgent mission to the Middle East since the Israel-Hamas conflict began.

He held talks in Jordan’s capital with the officials, who are angry and deeply suspicious of Israel as it intensifies military operations.
