John Kirby, a spokesman for the US National Security Council, noted that Israel has expressed its “intention” to minimize civilian casualties in Gaza and added: “it is important that the results match that intention.”
“We have and have expressed concerns about the Israeli military attack” on Gaza and its consequences for the civilian population, a White House spokesman said today, after President Joe Biden’s statement about “indiscriminate” Israeli bombing.
John Kirby, a spokesman for the US National Security Council, noted at a news conference that Israel has expressed its “intent” to minimize civilian casualties in Gaza, and added: “it is important that the results match that intent.” .
These comments are made after the unprecedented statements of Joe Biden, who estimated yesterday, Tuesday, that Israel is in danger of losing the support of the international community due to its “blind” bombing of the Gaza Strip.
This is the most outspoken criticism of the United States, Israel’s main supporter, following the unprecedented October 7 attack by Hamas on Israeli soil, which began a major Israeli offensive, with ground operations and deadly shelling in the Palestinian enclave.
John Kirby tried to downplay the now-public differences between the Biden administration and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration, stressing that it was not a “new message” from the US president.
The White House official also sought to play down the impact of other statements by Biden, who said Israel must “change” its long-term strategy and decried the current administration’s opposition to a two-state solution. “We are not dictating” to the Israeli government what it should do, said John Kirby.
