White House "In Touch" with Israel on Jenin Raid, Says Civilians Must Be Protected

(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - The Biden administration is in touch with Israeli officials over the IDF's military campaign in Jenin, the White House said Wednesday, while urging its ally to protect civilians and restore utilities in that West Bank city. "We are monitoring things very closely," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters. "Israel is a close ally and partner, and we are in touch with the national security and, certainly, the defense officials," she said. "We support, certainly, Israel's security and right to defend its people against Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and other terrorist groups," Jean-Pierre said. She underscored, however, that "It is imperative" for Israel to "take all possible steps to protect civilians from harm, and measures need to be taken to improve the humanitarian situation on the ground and restore critical services like electricity and water to the civilian population."
