U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has called on Israel to develop a comprehensive post-war strategy for Gaza to prevent prolonged chaos or a resurgence of Hamas. During a visit to Moldova, Blinken emphasized that without a clear plan, Gaza could face continuous insurgency or worse scenarios, potentially allowing jihadist groups to gain control. He also condemned a recent Israeli strike in Rafah that killed 45 civilians, urging Israel to investigate and ensure accountability. This statement comes amidst ongoing conflict, with significant casualties on both sides, and rising pressure on President Biden to address civilian protection.
