Blinken claims ‘far too many’ Palestinians died


(MENAFN) United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken has stated that “far too many” Palestinians have been murdered in Israel’s revengeful operation towards Hamas armies in Gaza. He also asked for residents` killings as well as agony to get cut down.

“Much more needs to be done to protect civilians and to make sure that humanitarian assistance reaches them,” the high-rank United States diplomat informed journalists in New Delhi on Friday, as he concluded his tour of the Middle East as well as Asia.

“Far too many Palestinians have been killed, far too many have suffered these past weeks, and we want to do everything possible to prevent harm to them and to maximize the assistance that gets to them.”

The United States has been attempting to persuade Israel to make available more extended “humanitarian pauses,” and has invented extra suggestions on how to better safeguard residents, even though Blinken did not clarify those talks.

The killings toll from Israeli assaults on Gaza has surpassed 11,000 individuals, together with 4,506 kids as well as 3,027 females, the health ministry in the Hamas-directed Palestinian enclave stated on Friday. Based on its most recent info, almost 27,490 others were injured throughout more than four weeks of bombing conducted by the IDF.

Blinken repeated Washington’s clear blame of Hamas as well as backing for Israel’s right to protect itself. But French Leader Emmanuel Macron debated on Friday that self-protection was “no justification” for the amount of the bombardment as well as citizen agony in Gaza.
