Journalists Removed After Confronting Blinken at Farewell Speech Over Gaza
Jan 16, 2025, 04:52 PM
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in his final days in office, was repeatedly interrupted by protesters and journalists accusing him of complicity in the Israeli military actions in Gaza during his farewell addresses. While delivering a speech at the Atlantic Council on the Middle East and during a subsequent press conference, Blinken faced multiple interruptions from pro-Palestinian activists and journalists who criticized him for the U.S. government's support of Israel amidst the conflict in Gaza. Protesters labeled him as 'Bloody Blinken' and 'Secretary of Genocide,' and some shouted, 'Why aren't you in The Hague?' Journalists Max Blumenthal and Sam Husseini confronted Blinken during the press briefing, questioning his actions and accusing him of enabling what they termed a 'genocide.' Security personnel forcibly removed the disruptive individuals from the events.
