The Biden administration, under pressure to address the aftermath of an Israeli airstrike on a Rafah tent camp that killed at least 45 civilians, says it is deferring to Israel to investigate the matter and not yet changing its policy toward the conflict.
“No change to our current policy,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said Tuesday. “As of yet, it’s not changing. We do support, as we always have, their ability to go after legitimate Hamas terrorists, and that, of course, includes using American-provided weapons.”
The White House echoed this sentiment, saying it was on Israel to carry out its accountability measures.
