US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is calling for better protection for Palestinian civilians in the war against the Islamist Hamas. “We must do more to protect Palestinian civilians,” said Blinken after a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv. During his visit to Israel, he made it clear that what matters is how the country wages the war against Hamas, which rules in the Gaza Strip. It is important to proceed “correctly and lawfully,” because anything else would play into the hands of Hamas and other terrorist groups, said Blinken. But there will be no “partners for peace” if the humanitarian catastrophe overshadows everything, he warns.
