WASHINGTON (AA) - The White House and Israeli representatives on Thursday discussed the situation in Gaza's city of Rafah, a Pentagon spokesman announced.
"The White House was hosting a session today with senior Israeli representatives to discuss the Rafah situation," Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters.
Ryder added that a readout will come out later in the day.
"Our position has not changed in terms of the importance of ensuring that humanitarian assistance and civilian safety are taken into account as Israel conducts its operations against Hamas," he added.
