WASHINGTON — White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby suggests that some of the steps the IDF has taken to prevent civilian casualties in Gaza might go further than what the US would have done if it were in Israel’s place.
Kirby highlights the map the IDF publishedalerting civilians as to which neighborhoods it is planning to attack, so that they can evacuate ahead of time.
“That’s basically telegraphing your punches. There are very few modern militaries in the world that would do that. I don’t know that we would do that,” Kirby says during a press briefing.
