US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that "at least temporarily", if necessary, a number of countries could play an important role in post-war Gaza in terms of maintaining security in the Palestinian enclave, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
America's number one diplomat said this at a Senate subcommittee hearing, in response to a question about whether Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have the capacity and will to govern the Gaza Strip.
During his speech to the senators, Blinken was repeatedly interrupted by pro-Palestinian activists in the room, who apostrophized him because of the American policy of supporting Israel in the war against "Hamas", the Associated Press reported. The chairman had to stop the meeting at least six times during the opening speech of the secretary of state.
Demonstrators hurled accusations at Blinken of being a "war criminal" and that he was responsible for "genocide" against the Palestinian people.
