"Jake Sullivan Urges Israel to Provide Safe Havens for Gaza Civilians"

Jake Sullivan, the U.S. national security adviser, stressed the importance of providing safe places for civilians in Gaza as the likelihood of an Israeli offensive increases. Sullivan emphasized the need for civilians to have access to essential resources and called for their safety and security. The Biden administration has supported Israel following the recent Hamas-led attack but has also expressed concerns about the impact on civilians. Israel has advised Palestinian civilians to move south to avoid the expected fighting, but the U.N. and aid groups warn that this could lead to significant human suffering. The timing and nature of Israel's potential ground invasion remain uncertain.
