On October 7, 2023, the fundamentalist Islamist organization Hamas committed an unprecedented terrorist attack against Israel on Yom Kippur, October 7, 2023, killing over 1,400 Israelis.
White House Press Secretary Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a press conference that U.S. President Joe Biden has "made it a top priority" to send aid to Palestinians.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday and warned that Hamas is preventing Americans and other foreign nationals from leaving Gaza.
Responding to these accusations, the Israeli military claimed that the strike on the church was actually aimed at a nearby militant command center and that the incident was under review.
