- US must respond to suffering of Palestinians, Blinken says'
Even before leaving the US for Israel, Secretary of State Antony Blinken acknowledged just how much the world’s focus had shifted from Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack to the Israeli military response.
“When I see a Palestinian child — a boy, a girl — pulled from the rubble of a collapsed building, that hits me in the gut as much as seeing a child in Israel or anywhere else,” Blinken told reporters on the tarmac in Washington. “This is something that we have an obligation to respond to.”
