White House national security spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Oct. 27 that the United States isn’t trying to impose limits on Israel in its military operation to destroy the Hamas terror group that is said to be using human shields in places like schools and hospitals to protect its fighters.
“We’re not drawing red lines for Israel,” Mr. Kirby said at a briefing, adding that Washington supports Israel’s right to defend itself and its people after Hamas operatives raided Israeli communities on Oct. 7 and killed hundreds of civilians, including children, after subjecting some to torture.
