The U.S. is seeking a pause for humanitarian aid, but Israel’s latest strikes reportedly kill refugees at U.N.-backed shelter.

Blinken was meeting with Middle East leaders in Jordan at nearly the same time Israel unleashed a pair of airstrikes north of Gaza City that reportedly killed some 20 civilians.

The AP reported Saturday that Blinken clashed with Arab leaders in their meeting, with the Middle Eastern countries demanding an immediate ceasefire that Blinken wouldn’t back. An unnamed Egyptian official said their country and Qatar had proposed humanitarian pauses for six to 12 hours daily to allow aid in and casualties to be evacuated, as well as a potential hostage swap.

Saturday marked the eighth day of Israel’s ground operation in Gaza. The Israel Defense Force announced Thursday that its armored divisions had rolled into Gaza City, which it says is the home base for Hamas.
