Indict Antony Blinken!
On May 24, 2024, Secretary of State Antony Blinken reported to Congress, “We do not currently assess that the Israeli government is prohibiting or otherwise restricting the transport of U.S. humanitarian assistance”. This, in spite of the fact that both the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the State Department Bureau for Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) had reached precisely the opposite conclusion in formal written reports. They concluded that Israel was systematically denying and blocking humanitarian food and medical assistance to Gaza in violation of U.S. foreign aid laws. Although both assessments had been submitted to Secretary Blinken in April of 2024, neither was mentioned in Blinken’s May report to Congress. By concealing the USAID and PRM reports, Secretary Blinken deceived Congress, an apparent violation of the Material False Statement law which prohibits falsification or concealment of material facts orally or in writing to the U.S. Congress.
