Blinken heckled by reporters over Gaza genocide

Several journalists who are outspoken critics of US support for Israel loudly lambasted US Secretary of State Antony Blinken over the war in Gaza on Thursday, repeatedly interrupting his final press conference as he sought to defend his handling of 15 months of horrific Israeli war on the Palestinian territory.

Israel's assault on Gaza is likely to define the foreign policy legacy of the outgoing Biden administration, despite a deal reached between Israel and Hamas that would see a ceasefire and exchange of captives implemented in gradual stages.

"Criminal! Why aren't you in The Hague," shouted Sam Husseini, an independent journalist and long time critic of Washington's approach to the world. The Hague is where the International Criminal Court is located.
