Hamas Accuses Blinken of Bias Towards Israel: Latest World News Update
In a recent statement released by Hamas, the group has strongly criticized US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s remarks regarding the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip. Blinken claimed that Israel had offered attractive deals for a ceasefire, but it was Hamas who rejected them, therefore preventing peace in the region.
Hamas condemned Blinken’s statements as a clear demonstration of the US government’s bias towards what they referred to as “Zionist fascism.” The group argued that it was actually Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who had disrupted negotiations for his own political gains.
During the G7 Foreign Ministers meeting on the Capri Island in Italy, Blinken accused Hamas of prioritizing regional conflict over reaching a peaceful resolution. In response, Hamas has accused Netanyahu of being uncompromising and unwilling to make necessary concessions for peace.
The statement from Hamas also highlighted the devastating human toll of the conflict, noting that since October 7, 2023, 34,012 people have lost their lives and 76,833 others have been injured in Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.
The situation in Gaza remains tense, with both sides pointing fingers and the international community struggling to find a path towards lasting peace. The conflict continues to take a heavy toll on innocent civilians, further emphasizing the urgent need for a ceasefire and diplomatic resolution to the crisis.
