Still no red line for the US, the red line does not exist
US doesn’t confirm it aided Israel during ‘rescue operation’
Speaking on ABC’s “This Week” programme, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan did not say whether the United States provided intelligence support to Israel or comment on how the operation might affect Hamas embracing a ceasefire agreement.
“The fact is that the whole world is looking to Hamas to say ‘yes’,” he said. “For all those people, for all these months who have been calling for a ceasefire, now is the moment.”
Sullivan also said the US doesn’t know how many Palestinians died in the incursion. Gaza’s health ministry said 274 Palestinians were killed.
Asked if Washington would back similar future Israeli raids even if such numbers of Palestinian civilians died, Sullivan replied: “The United States will support Israel in taking steps to try to rescue hostages.”
He also said Washington would keep urging Israel to minimise civilian casualties.
It's ok, they're urging Israel to kill less than 274 people next time.
Staggering number of children killed in Israel’s Nuseirat attack
Among the 274 dead from Israel’s army incursion are at least 64 children, 57 women, and 37 elderly people, Gaza’s health ministry says. Another 798 Palestinians were wounded in the Israeli raid.
The Palestinian death toll is the worst over a 24-hour period of the Gaza war for months.
“My child was crying, afraid of the sound of the plane firing at us,” said Hadeel Radwan, 32, recounting how they fled the intense attack as she carried her seven-month-old daughter. “We all felt that we wouldn’t survive. This brutal occupation will not let us live.”
