Secretary of State Antony Blinken repeats the Biden Administration’s support for aid to reconstruct Gaza after the extensive damage by Israeli missiles and shelling in the conflict paused on Friday.
In interviews with Sunday political TV programs, Blinken also reiterated the Administration’s backing of “Israel’s right to defend itself”.
Initially, the Biden Administration held out publicly against a call for ceasefire in the 11 days of killings, with almost 250 Gazans slain and 12 Israelis perishing from Hamas rocket fire.
