Pressed on mounting civilian casualties in Gaza, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says the US “has not seen anything that would convince us that we need to take a different approach in terms of trying to help Israel.”

Kirby acknowledges that the number of civilian casualties is too high and that the US continues to engage with Israel about how to lower the figure.
