In a call with US President Joe Biden on Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu committed to supporting a significant increase of aid flow into Gaza, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said.
At the White House briefing on Monday, Kirby said that Biden “received a commitment that Israelis will endeavour to support a significant increase in the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza.”
He said they were hoping to get in additional trucks, but even with an increase, it would take time to make up the difference.
Kirby also added that Israel is making an effort to avoid civilian casualties but the US does not believe a ceasefire is the right answer now.
