Antony Blinken Faces Intense Scrutiny Over Israel Policy in Senate Hearings

Protesters and lawmakers from both parties criticize the Biden administration's stance on Israel and Gaza during Blinken's testimony.

Pro-Palestinian protesters repeatedly interrupted Blinken, calling him a 'war criminal' and accusing him of genocide.
Republican senators accused the Biden administration of failing to support Israel adequately and indirectly funding Hamas.
Democratic senators urged for more stringent conditions on arms exports to Israel to protect Palestinian civilians.
Blinken defended the administration's actions, emphasizing efforts to balance support for Israel with humanitarian concerns in Gaza.
The hearings also touched on broader foreign policy issues, including U.S. relations with China and Russia.
