Blinken Speech | Journalist Dragged Away After Heckling Blinken, Calling Him 'Criminal'
Secretary of State Antony Blinken was giving his final comments from his department’s press briefing room, touting the Biden administration’s help brokering a ceasefire deal in Gaza, when he was interrupted by two journalists. They shouted at America’s top diplomat, accusing him of complicity in Israeli violence against Palestinian civilians in Gaza. One of the men shouted repeatedly, “Why aren’t you in the Hague?” a reference to the world’s top war-crimes court. Blinken stopped his opening comments, asked them to “respect the process" and said he would take questions momentarily. Both men were physically removed by diplomatic security.
