 But, as democracies, the United States, Israel, other democracies have a responsibility to do everything possible to protect civilians who may be caught in harm's way. And this, again, is a crossfire, quite literally, of Hamas' making. The fact that it cynically and monstrously, deliberately has people, men, women, and children as human shields puts its command posts, puts its leadership, puts its fighters, puts its weapons, puts its munitions underneath hospitals, or even inside them. Schools, mosques, makes this incredibly challenging, but we have to rise to that responsibility. And so we will be talking about concrete steps that canon should be taken to minimize harm to men, women, and children in Gaza, and this is something that the United States is committed to. I'm not going to get into the details here, but it's very much on the agenda. As we've said from the start, Israel has not only the right but the obligation to defend itself and also to take steps to try to make sure that this never happens again. We've also said very clearly and repeatedly that how Israel does this matters. We will focus as well on steps that need to be taken to protect civilians who are in a crossfire of Hamas' making, and we want to look at concrete steps that can be taken to better protect them. We've seen in recent days Palestinian civilians continue to bear the brunt of this action, and it's important that the United States is committed to making sure everything possible is done to protect civilians. At the same time, we're determined that this conflict not spread and we'll be talking to both the Israeli government and partners in the region about what all of us are doing to prevent that from happening. Second big objective, of course, is to continue our efforts to get humanitarian assistance in and to get our citizens and nationals out of Gaza. In terms of humanitarian assistance going in, we've been able to establish over the last couple of weeks efforts to get trucks moving. We've had about 50 to 60 trucks a day of assistance going in. We need that and want that to increase and I expect you'll see that in the coming days. These are challenging times. These are intensely difficult issues, but I am convinced that American diplomacy can make a difference in moving everyone to a better place. That's what we're working to do. So we are determined to prevent escalation on any of these fronts, whether it's Lebanon, Northern Israel, Southern Lebanon, whether it's the West Bank, whether it's anywhere else in the region. We do have to have conversations now about how we can best set the conditions for a durable, sustainable peace, durable, sustainable security for Israelis and Palestinians alike. So I expect that those are conversations that we'll have an opportunity to pursue over the next couple of days, but this is a long-term effort, but we have to make sure that we're focused on it now.
