The United States is not putting “any conditions” on the military systems that it’s providing to Israel in its war against Hamas in Gaza, White House National Security Council chairman John Kirby tells reporters during a phone briefing.
“They have a right to defend themselves. They have a right to go after this terrorist threat, and we’re going to continue to do everything we can to help them do that,” Kirby says.
