The U.S. really wants Israel to “get out of Gaza” and stop the “horrible loss of life of innocent civilians.” Secretary of State Antony Blinken appeared on Sunday talk shows to deliver this message.
When asked if the U.S. would withhold weapons from Israel because of the ground invasion, Blinken said this: “We believe two things. One, you have to have a clear, credible plan to protect civilians, which we haven’t seen. Second, we also need to see a plan for what happens after this conflict in Gaza is over. And we still haven’t seen that because what are we seeing right now? We’re seeing parts of Gaza that Israel has cleared of Hamas, where Hamas is coming back, including in the north, including in Khan Younis.”
This is inconsistent with the State Department report that indicated that the U.S. will not cut aid to Israel.
Al Jazeera reports that Israel has also invaded a refugee camp in North Gaza called Jabalia. Israel struck this camp last November and the United Nations condemned it.
