The US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, has arrived in Japan for a meeting of Group of Seven foreign ministers expected to be dominated by the Israel-Hamas war.

Blinken made no public comment as he arrived for the two days of discussions in Tokyo after a whirlwind tour of the Middle East, where he pushed for humanitarian pauses" in Israel's bombardment of Gaza and attempted to contain the conflict.

Calls have been mounting for a ceasefire, including from UN agencies and several countries.

A key ally of Israel, the US has not backed these calls, insisting that Israel has the right to respond - though Washington has called for pauses in the fighting.
