US to continue military support to Israel after humanitarian pause in Gaza
01.12.2023 10:00
The US authorities will continue to provide military aid to Israel after the end of the humanitarian pause in the Gaza Strip, White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said, reported from The Times of Israel.
"We continue to believe that Israel has a right and responsibility to go after Hamas. They have said very clearly that when these pauses are over, they intend to go back at it. As they make that decision, they’ll continue to find support from the United States in terms of the tools and capabilities, the weapons systems that they need as well as the advice and the perspectives that we can offer in terms of urban warfare,” Kirby says during a press briefing, again alluding to US concerns regarding mounting Palestinian civilian casualties and the need for the IDF to operate in a more calculated manner in southern Gaza.
"We have been very consistent and clear with our Israeli counterparts that we do not support a move to the south unless or until they have adequately accounted for the protection of innocent human life, civilian life in southern Gaza, with the understanding that there’s a whole heck of a lot more innocent civilians in southern Gaza than there were a week or two ago… What we’re urging Israel to do is to make sure there’s appropriate accounting for that and additional safety measures in place,” Kirby says, reiterating the message stressed by the Biden administration over the past several weeks.
