United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned on Oct. 31 that a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Hamas would “allow” the terrorist group to “remain.”
Appearing in front of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Mr. Blinken said that a ceasefire “would simply consolidate what Hamas has been able to do and allow it to remain where it is, and then potentially repeat what it did another day, and that’s not tolerable.”
