We Will Not Allow Israel Reoccupy Gaza- US Secretary of State Blinken

United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken has called on Israel not to reoccupy Gaza once its ongoing war with Hamas ends.

Antony Blinken while speaking to reporters after a G7 Foreign Ministers summit in Japan, listed what he said were “key elements” in order to create “durable peace and security”.

“The United States believes key elements should include: no forcible displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, not now, not after the war; No use of Gaza as a platform for terrorism or other violent attacks; No reoccupation of Gaza after the conflict ends”.

He added that other conditions included no “attempt to blockade or besiege Gaza” or any “reduction in the territory of Gaza.”

At a time when our world faces increasingly complex challenges, our G7 partnership has never been more important. In Tokyo, I spoke with @MinColonna, @MelanieJoly, @JamesCleverly, @Antonio_Tajani, and @ABaerbock on our shared goals towards international peace and security. pic.twitter.com/V29fdKOM2i
