Former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has criticised Israel for showing “some disregard” for Palestinian civilian welfare in Gaza, but clarified this differs fundamentally from deliberate intent to eliminate them. Speaking at a Jewish organisation gathering in Washington alongside former Secretary Mike Pompeo, Blinken acknowledged the distinction between civilian casualties and targeted elimination. Pompeo praised Israeli intelligence capabilities, stating they “save American lives, including mine.”
