Secretary of State Antony Blinken echoed Biden’s forceful response to the announcement that the prosecutor intends to hold Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders, along with Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and other Hamas leaders, responsible for Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7 and the subsequent invasion of Gaza by Israeli forces.
“It is shameful,” Blinken said. “Hamas is a brutal terrorist organization that carried out the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, and it is still holding dozens of people hostage, including Americans.”
