“They deserve safety and security,' Biden's national security adviser said.
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan speaks during the daily briefing at the White House in Washington, on Oct. 10, 2023. | Susan Walsh/APAs the likelihood of an Israeli offensive in Gaza mounts, U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Sunday emphasized the need for the Israeli military to allow civilians in Gaza to get to relative safety.
“The many, many Palestinians who have had nothing to do with the brutal terrorist organization Hamas — the vast majority of the population of Gaza — they deserve dignity. They deserve safety and security,” adding the United States was working with regional partners “to ensure that.” Israel has since commenced a siege of Gaza, firing its own barrage of retaliatory missiles and killing more than 2,000 Palestinians, while restricting access to food and electricity in the region that’s long been blockaded by Israel and Egypt.
As of Sunday morning, the U.S. had not been able to get any American citizens through the border crossing in Gaza, “and I’m not aware of anyone else being able to get out at this time,” Sullivan told NBC’s Kristen Welker.
