00:00 Washington shows its solidarity with Tel Aviv by a visit from its Secretary of State just
00:05 five days after Israel suffered its largest terrorist attack in history.
00:10 The United States has called for a proportionate response.
00:14 During his meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister, Antony Blinken carried a message
00:18 of solidarity for the Israeli people, whilst Netanyahu was unrelenting.
00:25 The message that I bring to Israel is this, you may be strong enough on your own to defend
00:31 yourself, but as long as America exists, you will never ever have to.
00:37 We will always be there by your side.
00:41 Hamas should be treated exactly the way ISIS was treated.
00:46 They should be spit out from the community of nations.
00:51 No leader should meet them.
00:53 No country should harbor them.
00:55 And those that do should be sanctioned.
00:58 Blinken has confirmed that there are at least 25 US citizens amongst those killed in the
01:03 Hamas attacks.
01:04 On Friday, he will meet with Palestinian National Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
01:09 The silence he has maintained since last Saturday screeches in the ears of Western diplomacy.
