Jean-Pierre: We know that so far, twenty-two Americans lost their lives [Israel], and seventeen remain unaccounted for. We know that these numbers are likely to increase in the days ahead.

John Kirby [White House press conference]: This military aid package that we're announcing today is another important signal of our continued commitment to supporting the Ukrainian people, and it utilized funding authorities that congress authorized for Ukraine during a prior fiscal year under the presidential drawdown authority.

Reporter: Has [Biden] ruled out sending any American forces of any kind, into Gaza, any time, to help secure their release [hostages] if necessary; to get them out safely.

Kirby: We haven't made any policy options, or operational decisions with respect to hostage recovery, at this time.

Kirby: I know of no specific threats here, domestically…like a spillover effect of what's happening between Israel and Hamas.

Kirby: We have not seen any evidence, specific evidence, that Iran was directly involved with these specific sets of attacks.

Kirby: I think in the immediate term right now, we can continue to support, with the authorities and appropriations we have, Israel and Ukraine, but we're certainly running out of runway.

Reporter: In the event Israel strikes Iran, what levels of support can they anticipate from this administration?

Kirby: I won't get into hypothetical operations that haven't happened yet, or what policy options might accrue from that.

Reporter: You haven't called on me in two seasons, Karine.

Jean-Pierre: And not calling on you today.

Reporter: You should be ashamed of that. That shows disrespect to a free and independent media. It blacklists one of the country's largest and most widely read newspapers, Karine. That shows contempt for a free and independent press.

Just like yesterday, another ten minute briefing from Jean-Pierre.
