His remarks followed a conversation between President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.\u2062 Biden criticized Israel over the humanitarian situation \u2062in Gaza and implied Israel&#8217;s responsibility for hostages held by Hamas. Blinken emphasized the distinction between Israel and Hamas.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p>U.S. Secretary of State <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/antony-blinken\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Antony Blinken<\/a> said overseas on Thursday that Israel is on the verge of becoming indistinguishable from Hamas, the Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) responsible for murdering 1,200 people on October 7 and wounding thousands more.<\/p>\n<p>Blinken made the remarks while speaking in Brussels shortly after the White House released a readout of a conversation that President Joe Biden had with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier in the day.<\/p>\n<p>Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-demands-israel-enact-immediate-ceasefire-against-hamas-terrorists-seems-to-blame-israel-for-hostages-not-being-freed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attacked<\/a> Israel for the humanitarian situation inside Gaza, calling it \u201cunacceptable,\u201d even though Israel has worked to allow aid to flow into the area, but has had to do so in a manner that prevents weapons from entering. Biden also seemed to suggest that Israel was responsible for Hamas not freeing the hostages that it kidnapped more than six months ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happened after October 7 could have ended immediately if Hamas had stopped hiding behind civilians, released the hostages and put down its weapons, but Israel is not Hamas,\u201d Blinken said. \u201cIsrael is a democracy; Hamas, a terrorist organization. Democracies place the highest value on human life, every human life. As it has been said, whoever saves a life, saves the entire world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blinken then suggested that Israel\u2019s military campaign against Hamas risks making the country \u201cindistinguishable\u201d from the terrorist organization \u2014 even though Israel has taken unprecedented steps to minimize civilian casualties, including warning civilians to evacuate areas where Israel would conduct military operations.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s our strength.
