State Department spokesperson dodges question on whether Israel should resume allowing Gaza aid
Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief
Asked whether Israel should resume the delivery of humanitarian aid to women and children in Gaza it halted six weeks ago, US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce avoids answering the question directly.
Gaza “is a zone where there’s still fighting,” she says during a State Department briefing, adding that the Trump administration is working to save lives.
“Everything that we do is to affect exactly what you mentioned, which is saving the lives of everyone,” Bruce says.
