Washington (HRNW) US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the US remains greatly concerned over the escalating violence and is working “extensively” behind the scene to bring hostilities to an end.
The US diplomat, speaking at a news conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, urged all parties to ensure the protection of civilians and repeated that Israel has an extra burden to do everything in order to avoid civilian casualties.
Blinken also said that he has not seen any Israeli evidence of Hamas operating in the Gaza building that housed residences, offices and media organisations – including Al Jazeera – that Israel hit on Saturday. Blinken says he has asked Israel for justification for the strike.
