Kirby [White House press conference]: There's been some stuff out in the media space about the United States being willing to support some sort of permanent settlement outside of Gaza for Palestinian people…that is not our policy. That is not what we're after. We want to make sure that the people of Gaza, should they want to go back home, can go back home.

Kirby: We do believe that Hamas can't be the future of governance in Gaza. They can't…what comes next after the conflict; we don't have all the answers to that, but we are working with our partners in the region to explore what governance in Gaza can, and should look like, over the long term. Whatever it is, it can't be Hamas.

Kirby: There's no plans or intention to put US military troops on the ground in Gaza, now or in the future…we are talking to our partners about what post-conflict Gaza should look like…if that means some sort of international presence, then that's something worth talking about, but there's been no decisions about that at this point.

Simons [White House press conference]: Last year, we established the inter agency group to combat Islamophobia and anti-Semitism…the next step is to release a strategy on Islamophobia.

Simons: Since last month, DHS has taken steps to reduce the average processing time [work permits] for certain migrants to just thirty days.
