Can Blinken's Middle East Trip Succeed?

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Jordanian Foreign Minister and Deputy PM Ayman Safadi, Lebanon's caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Qatari PM and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al Thani, among others. Reports say that U.S.-allied Arab states will further press the American official for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza to allow humanitarian aid into the area. What can his trip achieve? Daniel Pipes of the Middle East Forum offers a skeptical opinion of the trip.
