The White House on Tuesday expressed confidence that Israel is attempting to minimize civilian casualties during its airstrikes and ground offensive in Gaza following Hamas attacks.
The U.S. recognizes the damage to infrastructure and casualties, John Kirby, White House spokesperson on foreign policy and national security, told reporters on Tuesday, but has not yet supported a cease-fire, citing concerns that it would solidify Hamas' position, which the United States designates as a terrorist organization.
Kirby said he had not seen reports on the civilian deaths at the refugee camp and was commenting generally.
