The US is not involved in the death of Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh, State Department chief Anthony Blinken said.
“The United States did not know and was not involved in the assassination of a Hamas leader, Ismail Haniyeh,” CNA quoted Blinken as saying.
Earlier, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin did not answer a question about possible Israeli involvement in the assassination, as well as whether the United States knew about it in advance.
At the same time, he said that the US would help defend Israel in the event of an attack on the country.
