US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Wednesday (31) that the United States was not involved in or aware of the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
“I have learned over many years never to speculate about the impact that one event might have on another,” Blinken said in an interview with broadcaster News Asia during a visit to Singapore, when asked about the impact the assassination could have.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard confirmed Haniyeh’s death in Tehran early Wednesday, hours after he attended the inauguration ceremony of the country’s new president.
Blinken, who has been in Asia since late last week, said a ceasefire and the release of hostages held in Gaza were crucial and that the United States would do everything to make that happen.
