U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken appealed to the countries of the world that are not demanding that Hamas lay down its weapons, saying during a press briefing that "many countries are calling for an end to this conflict, which we all want, but I don't hear most of them demanding that Hamas stop hiding behind civilians and lay down its weapons."
According to him, "If Hamas does this - the war will end tomorrow. It could have ended already a month ago if Hamas did this.
How can it be that there are no demands ofthe attacker, but only demands of the victim."
