Hecklers interrupt Blinken over Gaza policy at his final news conference

Multiple hecklers have interrupted US Secretary of State Antony Blinken inside the State Department briefing room during his remarks on the heels of a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza, Reuters reports.

“Criminal! You belong in The Hague,” independent journalist Sam Husseini shouted as Blinken delivered opening remarks at his final news conference.

Husseini was carried out by security personnel after his repeated shouts.

Blinken was interrupted at least two other times earlier with similar heckling denouncing US policy on the Israel-Gaza conflict.
