White House spokeswoman Jean-Pierre says the US government has not verified footage documenting Israeli atrocities, including apparent executions, around al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza.
“It is deeply concerning if it’s true. We are reaching out to Israel’s government to get more information,” she told reporters. But she went on to blame Hamas, saying the Palestinian group was using the hospital as a base.
“We also have to call out Hamas here. They are operating out of hospitals – out of hospitals. That’s what they’re doing. They’re embedding themselves in the civilian population,” Jean-Pierre said.
State Department spokesman Matthew Miller echoed Jean-Pierre’s statement, but he added that Israel’s campaign at al-Shifa underscores US advice for Israel to create a plan to bring stability to Gaza.
“It’s not enough to just clear certain neighbourhoods or hospitals or any other geographic areas or buildings of Hamas. They need to have a long-term, sustainable strategy that is not just a security strategy but also a political strategy,” Miller said.
