Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan met on Monday with visiting US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on the sidelines of a US-Gulf Cooperation Council meeting in Riyadh.

The ministers reviewed ways to strengthen bilateral relations and joint cooperation in various fields, the Saudi Press Agency said.

They also discussed developments in the Gaza Strip and the city of Rafah, and the importance of an immediate ceasefire, as well as the swift delivery of aid.

The United States has seen "measurable progress" in the humanitarian situation in Gaza over the past few weeks, Blinken said, but urged Israel to do more.
Speaking at the opening of the US-GCC meeting, Blinken said the most effective way to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza was to achieve a ceasefire.

He also said Washington continued efforts to prevent the Gaza war from expanding.
