‘Precarious moment’: Antony Blinken comments on Israel’s strike on Beirut

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has reacted to Israel’s strikes on Beirut. “The events of the past week and the past few hours underscore what a precarious moment this is for the Middle East and for the world,” Mr Blinken said during a media conference. This comes after Hezbollah’s central headquarters in southern Beirut was hit by huge Israeli airstrikes, which killed at least two people and injured more than 70 others.
