Secretary Blinken's Press Availability with Israel and the United Arab Emirates

The U.S. is providing more than $20 million in additional assistance to help meet urgent humanitarian needs for the nearly 700,000 asylum seekers, refugees, and vulnerable migrants in Central America and Mexico.

We will work hard to ensure the Council upholds its highest aspirations and better supports those fighting against injustice and tyranny around the world.

Six years ago Iran arrested Siamak Namazi for being a U.S. citizen. His father Baquer is also barred from leaving Iran despite needing critical medical care. The U.S. is committed to securing their freedom as soon as possible.
