Secretary of State Antony Blinken responded to the phone call between U.S. President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding Gaza during a Thursday press conference held in Brussels:
After the phone call, Secretary of State Antony Blinken told reporters in Brussels that “we’ll change our policy if Israel does not make changes to its policies in Gaza.”…
Blinken stated, “Israel is not Hamas”. “Israel is a democratic country, Hamas is a terrorist organization.” Democracies value human life, every single one of them.
Hamas is also the government of Gaza. They have some responsibility. Joe Biden and Antony Blinken seem to think that Gaza is a one-way street when it comes to responsibility.
Blinken’s comments begin around 1:06 and continue until 4:45 in the video below.
