John Kirby [White House press conference]: [Israel] have categorically denied that they were involved in that [hospital in Gaza]…I wouldn't characterize this as an investigation…[Biden] has directed the national security team to gather as much information and context as possible.
Kirby: We certainly recognize that they [Israel] feel very strongly that this [hospital explosion in Gaza] was not caused by them.
Kirby: [Biden] certainly is coming tomorrow desiring to ask questions, as a friend, about their [Israel's] intentions and their plans
Reporter: Is there any contingency planning for the US forces that are in the area to go in and get the American hostages?
Kirby: The less said, the better, when it comes to how we're trying to get hostages home.
Kirby: Clearly, we believe that support to Ukraine and support to Israel remain important to our own national security interests, and we're going to continue to have an active conversation with congress about securing supplemental funding because both of it is needed. We have appropriations to help Ukraine for a little while longer, we have existing authorities and appropriations to help Israel for a little while longer…we are absolutely going to need supplemental funding and support from congress.
Jean-Pierre's contribution to the press conference lasted five minutes. kek
