“There is no such thing as a justification for terror. None by any means. You all know that, and we should condemn Hamas’s acts of terror. Hamas’s targets are single-minded, and so they’re sickening; they’re decided to destroy Israel and kill Jews.”
“The lives of Palestinians have to be protected; the lives of UN personnel and humanitarian staff and journalists have to be protected.
“We mourn the lack of each single harmless life on this disaster, each single one. We should not look away, and we should not develop into numb to the ache and the struggling of individuals like [Al Jazeera] Wael Dahdouh, a Palestinian journalist whose spouse, son, daughter and grandson have been killed in Gaza with week.”
“The USA has made clear in private and non-private conversations that as Israel workouts its proper and certainly its accountability to defend its folks in opposition to the terrorist group, it should achieve this in keeping with the foundations of warfare.”
