Washington: The White House announced late Monday that the Israeli occupation had informed the US administration about its wide-scale airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, effectively ending the ceasefire agreement.
According to Kuwait News Agency, Karoline Leavitt, the White House Press Secretary, told FOX News that the Israeli occupation had "consulted" with the administration of President Donald Trump before carrying out its act. She indicated that, according to President Trump, Hamas and the Houthis would "pay" for their actions.
Leavitt also mentioned that Trump addressed all the "terrorists" in the Middle East and their proxies, allegedly supported by Iran, indicating that the President called on them to take him "seriously." A US National Security Agency (NSA) spokesperson told the press that the Israeli occupation notified Washington of its intention to resume military operations against Gaza.
The US administration did not show rejection of the step but asked the Israeli occupation to "minimize" civilian casualties and follow international rules and regulations when carrying out this operation. This reflects the US understanding of the Israeli occupation's actions, especially after the US allegedly claimed that Hamas refused to extend the ceasefire agreement.
Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that military operations would resume against the Gaza Strip, leading to the death of scores of civilians so far.
