Chaos erupted at Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s final press conference Thursday after an announced Israel-Hamas cease-fire and hostage deal, with State Department employees forcibly removing reporters who accused the cabinet official of allowing a “genocide” in Gaza.

State Department aides escorted Grayzone News journalist Max Blumenthal from the briefing room, while security guards dragged independent journalist Sam Husseini away, as Blinken was hailing the cease-fire agreement first pitched in May and set to take effect Sunday.

Both Blumenthal and Husseini were enraged that Israel’s war in Gaza after the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, which has lasted 15 months and killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, hadn’t ended sooner.

“Criminal!” Husseini screeched as three guards carried him out of the briefing room, according to footage posted on X. “Why aren’t you in The Hague! Why aren’t you in The Hague! Why aren’t you in The Hague!”
