Blinken says US ‘deeply concerned’ by violence inside Israel

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken voices alarm at the rise of Jewish-Arab violence inside Israel, which comes alongside fighting with the Palestinian terror group, Hamas.

“We’re also deeply concerned about the violence in the streets of Israel,” Blinken tells reporters, saying that Jews and Muslims marking holidays this week “deserve to take part in celebrations without fear of violence.”
