With ballistic missiles. the attack on israel last weekend included hundreds of missiles and drones, and many of them actually made it into israeli airspace. some were intercepted overhead. others landed on israeli soil. and so it was a significant attack that the middle east has not seen. and so the biden administration had a heavy task to try to rein in the israelis, to say, look, dont drag the middle east into a broader war and in a very uncomfortable truth about that relationship is that the...

Jordan intercepted foreign objects in its airspace over its territory and participating in the interview exception of that iranian attack several days ago. do they do that again? are they willing to take that step or now that they see that this is retaliation, do they step out of that? its a much bigger task for the us if they have to defend the airspace on their own, thats one of the key questions here. we havent seen the pentagon comment at this point. we havent heard of public statement for m...

Conflict and doing that, getting people out of harms way is a monumental task. for which weve yet to see a plan. and not only getting them out of harms way, making sure that they can be supported with humanitarian assistance if out of harms way. >> but 2nd, even if people are largely out of harms way inevitably theres going to remain a pretty significant civilian populace placement in rafah. and we believe that a major military operation with a large presence of the civilian population would hav...

Calling on all concerned to exercise restraint. that is what we have been doing over the last couple of weeks, and, as necessary, that is what we will continue to do. again, that is reflected in the statement that you will see coming from all of the g7 countries. on rafah. we have been very clear about this. president biden has been very clear about this. we cannot support a major military operation in rafah. first, there are currently somewhere around 1.4 million people in rafah, many of them d...
