on sunday, us secretary of state anthony blinken spoke to nbc�*s meet the press about possible iraniancoordinated hamas assault. hamas would not hamas be without the support from iran. at this point we do not have anything that suggests iran was involved in this attack, planning and carrying it out, but we have to look at it carefully. we do know iran has had a long relationship with hamas and one of the reasons why we counter uranian precisely for the support they provide to hamas. it is not surprising that those opposing israel normalising its relation with neighbours and countries around the region are hamas, hezbollah and iran and it is entirely possible one of the reasons for the attack is to de— normalise these relations. there are a lot of challenging issues to work through and we are in the process of doing that but the result would be, if we were able to do that, on a much different path for the region and for the future, path of greater stability, integration and people working together to better their lives. a short while ago, i spoke to former congresswoman jane harman abou

s defense department. but nbcs made its own assessment by consulting with four military and munition experts. we showed them tens of photos of the blast and also the aftermath of the attack at the hospital, and they all concluded that it's unlikely that israel was behind that attack, based on the fact that the marks left behind by the missile, they say, are inconsistent with the weaponry that israel has used until now. and obviously, this is just an assessment. but it matches the one by the u.s. and israel and it's unlikely it will convince the arab world that israel was not behind the attack. yesterday there were hundreds of people protesting. also lawmakers in the region seem to have no doubt that israel was responsible for the attack, including the foreign minister of jordan who spoke to lester holt and told him that nobody in the region buys the narrative that it was an islamic jihad missile that went astray. and they blamed the israeli military of not being credible. on the diplomatic front, the u.s. yesterda
