During an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that Israel’s actions during the conflict with Hamas were not in line with international humanitarian law.

Blinken expressed concerns about the high number of Palestinian civilian casualties and questioned whether Israel was meeting humanitarian standards.

He highlighted the need for Israel to protect civilians and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid.

While acknowledging Israel’s right to defend itself, Blinken raised issues regarding the use of weapons and incidents that may not align with international humanitarian law.

He emphasized ongoing investigations and accountability processes within Israel to address these concerns.

When asked about potential limitations on weapons deliveries to Israel, Blinken stressed President Biden’s strong support for Israel but also mentioned concerns about military operations in certain areas without adequate plans to protect civilians.
