US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, confirmed in a press conference on Wednesday that there is no red flag in Israel's war against Hamas, complaining that no one blames the Palestinian resistance movement and demands that it lay down its arms.

In response to a question regarding whether the United States has set red lines in its effort to destroy the Hamas movement, Minister Blinken said that Israel bears the responsibility of getting rid of Hamas while at the same time working to reduce civilian casualties, and it must not choose between the two.

Blinken added in a press conference, “It (Israel) has an obligation to do both things and has a strategic interest in doing both things together.”

The world must put pressure on Hamas, and not just Israel, after widespread criticism of the Israeli military campaign in Gaza.

The American minister said: “There seems to be silence about what Hamas can do, what it should do, and what it must do if we want to end the suffering of innocent men, women and children,” adding, “It would be good for the world to unite around this proposal as well.”

Blinken said, wondering: “Why is no one (those demanding a ceasefire) demanding that Hamas stop fighting and surrender? If that happened, the war would end tomorrow; it could have ended a month ago... Hamas is the aggressor, hiding behind Palestinian civilians.” ".

Blinken continued, "The two-state solution will require all parties to make difficult choices, including the United States."

Blinken stressed that Washington "will continue to focus on helping Israel ensure that the events of October 7 will not be repeated."

Israel has waged a sustained military war on the densely populated Gaza Strip ever since, which, according to health officials there, has killed nearly 20,000 people, most of them women and children, and created a humanitarian catastrophe.
