John Kirby, the National Security Council’s coordinator for strategic communications, on Monday, said the Biden administration is not “dictating terms” for Israel’s anticipated ground offensive in Gaza to wipe out the Hamas militant group following their brutal Oct. 7 attack.
While Kirby didn’t directly weigh into the reports about the U.S. pushing to delay the offensive, he said the White House has talked to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government about some things to consider beforehand. “Have you thought through the branches? Have you thought through the sequels? Have you thought through the unintended consequences?” he asked. “And so, we are in active conversation with them about that.”Asked if the White House supports the view that they should invade Gaza whenever they feel ready, Kirby said the U.S. is certainly not “in the business of dictating terms” to the Israelis.
Following the Oct. 7 attack Hamas launched in Israel, the country has responded with relentless airstrikes, with Netanyahu pledging to destroy Hamas.
