Jake Sullivan:
First, Hamas attacked Israel, killed 1,200 people, the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
Then Hamas retreated back behind a civilian population, used hospitals and schools and other civilian facilities for military purposes. Now, that does not lessen their responsibility to minimize civilian harm. For those who say, why not just cut off the weapons to Israel and then they will have to do what you say, you have got to remember that, sitting in my seat, I was watching Israel get attacked not just by Hamas, but by Hezbollah, by the Houthis, by the Shia militia groups in Iraq and Syria…
