U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati and other Middle East leaders in London on Friday, as U.S. and Israeli negotiators prepared to revive long-suspended talks to reach a cease-fire and hostage deal with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

“We have a sense of real urgency in getting to a diplomatic resolution” to end the conflict in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah, Blinken said Friday. He called for “the full implementation” of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the last major war between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006. Blinken previously announced plans to send an additional $135 million in aid for Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank and the broader region, which would include assistance with water sanitation and maternal health.

Blinken had just left Doha, Qatar, where American and Israeli diplomats will travel in the coming days. Mossad Director David Barnea will depart Sunday to gather with CIA Director William J. Burns and Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, the Israeli prime minister’s office said in a statement.
