US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said the United States is committed to rebuilding relations with the Palestinian people.

Blinken, in a tweet on his Twitter account, noted that "Israelis and Palestinians deserve equal measures of security, freedom, opportunity, and dignity."

Important conversation with Palestinian-American leaders about the violence in Israel, the West Bank & Gaza. We are committed to rebuilding our relationship with the Palestinian people. Israelis & Palestinians deserve equal measures of security, freedom, opportunity and dignity.

— Secretary Antony Blinken (@SecBlinken) June 4, 2021

In another tweet, he also stressed US President Joe Biden's commitment to combating anti-Semitism.

Good conversation with Jewish community leaders on Israel and the West Bank & Gaza. I reiterated @POTUS’ commitment to combat anti-Semitism amidst a troubling rise in incidents and that Israelis & Palestinians deserve equal measures of security, opportunity, freedom and dignity.

A week ago, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced that his country wants to "reconstruct" its relationship with the Palestinians and "will seek to reopen the US Consulate in Jerusalem" after the administration of former US President Donald Trump closed it in 2019.

After a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah, Blinken said, "I am here to confirm the United States' commitment to rebuilding the relationship with the Palestinian Authority and people."

The US State Department also announced, in a statement a few days ago, that Foreign Minister Antony Blinken and Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz discussed strengthening the partnership between the United States and "Israel."

Blinken assured Gantz "the importance of promoting peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians, and supporting Israel's right to defend itself", and highlighted Washington's commitment to the security of "Israel".

A high-ranking diplomatic official in the US State Department had spoken last month about the purpose of the US Secretary of State's visit to the Middle East, saying it came to ensure the cease-fire is maintained and to achieve the armistice between the Israelis and the Palestinians."
