US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was wrapping up a grueling Middle East diplomatic tour on Monday in Turkey after only limited success in his furious efforts to forge a regional consensus on how best to ease civilian suffering in Gaza as Israel intensifies its war against Hamas. Blinken met in the Turkish capital of Ankara […]
De roep om een humanitaire pauze in de Gazastrook klinkt steeds luider. Blinken heeft de Libanese premier ervan verzekerd dat hij zich zal inzetten voor het beëindigen van militaire operaties in Zuid-Libanon.
“This right to self-defense, indeed this obligation to self-defense, belongs to every nation. No country could or should tolerate the slaughter of innocents, ” Blinken said.
In the U.S. Secretary of State's third visit to Israel since the war began, he said after meeting Netanyahu that more needs to be done to 'protect Palestinian civilians.' Blinken also noted that 'the brutality of the slaughter has receded so quickly in the memories of many'
