U.S. Will Continue to Give Israel "Means to Defend Itself"
(U.S. State Department) Secretary of State Antony Blinken told ABC News on Sunday: "The fact of the matter is Hamas has brought nothing but ruin to the Palestinian people: its gross mismanagement of Gaza while it's been in charge, and of course, these indiscriminate rocket attacks on Israeli civilians, which have elicited the response that they did because Israel has a right to defend itself." "When it comes to arms sales...we are committed to giving Israel the means to defend itself, especially when it comes to these indiscriminate rocket attacks against civilians. Any country would respond to that, and we're committed to Israel's defense."
