Israel has held the area in a “total siege” after Hamas conducted terrorist attacks, blocking food, water, electricity and the exit of Palestinians. The United Nations has warned that Israel’s siege and bombardment of the densely populated enclave in response to unprovoked terrorist attacks from Gaza’s governing body known as Hamas could amount to war crimes.
“I’m not going to react to or comment on every report that we see. There’s a lot of fog of war,” Mr. Sullivan said on CBS “Face the Nation.
He added that the U.S. is working with Israel, the U.N., Egypt, Jordan and other countries “to do all that we can to ensure the protection of civilians and that those civilians have access to the basic necessities of food and water, of shelter, of medicine.” It’s estimated that hundreds of American citizens are trapped in Gaza as U.S. officials frantically try to find them safe passage from the region as Israel conducts its assault on Hamas.
