More Americans are expected to be among the foreign nationals exiting Gaza on Tuesday, White House National Security Spokesperson John Kirby said during a press conference.
“We do expect more individuals to depart Gaza today via the Rafah crossing. To date, there's been over 400 U.S. citizens and their families who have been able to depart and have been seeking the assistance of our consular team at the embassy in Cairo,” Kirby said, adding that the situation was “very fluid” and that there won’t be a final count until the end of the day.
"We have an active discussion with our Israeli counterparts about what post-conflict Gaza ought to look like. The President maintains his position that a reoccupation by Israeli forces is not the right thing to do. We'll let them speak to their intentions. But we are definitely having conversations about what the post-conflict environment ought to look like and what governance in Gaza ought to look like,” Kirby said, repeating the White House’s position against a “general ceasefire.”
Israeli authorities say 1,400 people died in the Hamas attack on Oct. 7, while officials with the Hamas-run Gaza health authority say more than 10,000 people have been killed in airstrikes since then.
