He also asked both sides that Israel and Palestine should be patient.

Tensions between Israeli security forces and Palestinians have been high since early January.

The US expressed concern that the incident would increase the war between Israel and Palestine.

In order to confirm it, 2 missiles were fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip of Palestine on Friday. In response, Israel launched an airstrike on Gaza.

Meanwhile, 7 people were killed in a shooting by a Palestinian terrorist at a Jewish place of worship located in the area of ​​Jerusalem controlled by Israel.

This is the worst attack in Israel since 2008.

In order to alleviate the growing tension in this regard, the US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has made his first tour of the region on Sunday and held talks with various leaders.
