US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was interrupted during a speech at the Atlantic Council on Tuesday.

A woman wearing a headscarf in the audience stood up, accusing Blinken of "genocide" against the Palestinian people, and calling him a "war criminal."

Security was forced to intervene to calm the situation by removing the woman in question.

"You will be known as Blinken the Bloody, the Secretary of Genocide. Your hands are stained with the blood of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians," the woman said.

Blinken remained calm and returned the compliment, thanking her for expressing her point of view, then asked her to allow him to express his own. (A2 Televizion)
