US State Department Briefing On Gaza Situation As War Rages Between Israel And Hamas

The State Department emphasized the need for Israel to prioritize the protection of civilians as it expands military operations in Gaza. This concern was conveyed during an ongoing dialogue between Washington and Israel. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller informed reporters that discussions also included issues related to American citizens in the West Bank facing transit difficulties through Israel. The US expects Israel to comply fully with the visa waiver program and Miller mentioned the availability of “remedial measures“ if compliance is not achieved, without specifying the details. Miller reported that 700 American citizens, legal permanent residents and their family members have left Gaza, while approximately 900 still remain. Additionally, he noted a fuel delivery into Gaza from Egypt on November 15, the first since the war’s onset. Israel granted approval for 24,000 liters of diesel fuel for UN aid distribution trucks, with the understanding that it would not be used in hospitals, as stated by a humanitarian source. While aid deliveries had been ongoing since October 21, Israel had previously denied fuel entry, citing concerns about potential use by Hamas in its conflict with Israel. #miller #unitednations #miller #unbriefing #gaza #gazaunderattak #israelhamaswar #israelpalestineconflict #worldnews n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
