Greenblatt: Hamas Bears Responsibility for Gaza's Suffering
(State Department) Jason Greenblatt, the President's Special Representative for International Negotiations, told a conference at the White House on Gaza on Tuesday: "We regret that the Palestinian Authority is not here with us today. This is not about politics. This is about the health, safety and happiness of the people of Gaza." "Everything we do must be done in a way that ensures we do not put the security of Israelis and Egyptians at risk - and that we do not inadvertently empower Hamas, which bears responsibility for Gaza's suffering....I have...seen the terror attack tunnels built by Hamas, and the remnants of the rockets used to murder Israelis - all built using money belonging to the international community, the Palestinian Authority and the people of Gaza."
