US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday published an op-ed in The Washington Post in which he urged members of Congress to support the budget for defense aid to Israel. In the column, Blinken said that the US should not have to choose between defending Israel and aiding Palestinian Arabs, but should do both things.
“From the moment Hamas slaughtered more than 1,400 people in Israel, including at least 35 US citizens, and took more than 230 hostages, President Biden has consistently affirmed Israel’s right — indeed, its obligation — to defend itself and prevent Hamas from carrying out such an attack ever again,” he wrote.
