Blinken: If Hamas lays down its weapons, war will end

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."
