Biden administration has 'actively' warned Israel over hospital warfare

The Biden administration has expressed concern in conversations with Israeli officials over its siege of Al-Shifa hospital, US national security adviser Jake Sullivan told CBS on Sunday.

Sullivan  said the administration feared that the hospital would become a battleground, resulting in a large number of casualties.

"The United States does not want to see firefights in hospitals, where innocent people, patients receiving medical care, are caught in the crossfire, and we’ve had active consultations with the [Israeli army] on this."
