US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, at his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told him that Israel must avoid harming civilians in Gaza until it gave American support “for Israel's right to defend itself”.
The White House says the pair spoke in the Israeli war cabinet at Tel Aviv and that Blinken “recaptured” US support for the “Israel's right to prevent terrorist attacks” but also stressed the importance of “mangies of further civil damage and civil infrastructure protection” in Gaza.
