BRENNAN: “Is the Biden Administration position still that there should be zero conditions on aid, military aid, to Israel?”
KIRBY: “I’m not going to get ahead of the president or decisions he might or might not make going forward. He was very clear in his call with the prime minister that if we don’t see some changes in their policies in Gaza and the way they’re prosecuting operations, we’re going to have to make some changes of our own.”
BRENNAN: “So, you do — you do think these are Israeli policies then to block aid?”
KIRBY: They have — they have — they get to decide how they prosecute this war. It’s their operation. We just talked about them pulling troops out and what that means. They get to decide how they prosecute operations. We get to decide how we’re going to react to that and how we’re going to administer our own policy with respect to Gaza. We make those decisions. And the president was clear with the prime minister: If there’s not changes, if things don’t get better, then we’re going to have to make changes of our own.”
