Margaret Brennan presses Blinken over US not calling for ceasefire in IsraelHamas war
"CBS “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan on Sunday pressed Secretary of State Antony Blinken over why the U.S. is not calling for a temporary cease-fire between Israel and the militant group Hamas in the midst of a deepening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. In response, the State Department head emphasized Israel’s right to defend itself.
Blinken argued “no country can be expected to tolerate” Hamas’s bloody massacre against Israel, which began on Oct. 7 and has killed 1,400 Israelis, including hundreds of civilians in their homes, at a bus stop and at a music festival earlier this month. Blinken stressed that Israel has a right and “even the obligation” to defend itself to ensure such attacks don’t happen again.
“So, let’s talk about how they do it. You’re right to lay out just how absolutely horrible that attack was two weeks ago,” Brennan responded to Blinken, while pointing to UNICEF’s estimate that 1,524 children have been killed in the Gaza Strip amid heavy bombardment by Israel since Oct. 7. “Why isn’t the U.S. calling for at least a temporary cease-fire?”"
