PNN – John Kirby, the coordinator of the US National Security Council, announced on the seventh day of the conflict between the Palestinian resistance forces and the Israeli regime and the actions of the regime to commit crimes in the Gaza Strip following the failure of the Al-Aqsa storm operation that Israel has not consulted us in determining the deadline and issuing the warning for the evacuation of the residents of the northern Gaza Strip.
According to Pakistan News Network from New York, John Kirby, the strategic communications coordinator of the White House’s National Security Council, claimed on Friday, October 13, 2023 local time, despite Washington’s support for the crimes of the occupying Jerusalem regime and equipping this regime in the wake of the surprise operation of Al-Aqsa Storm: We are concerned about the increasing number of civilian casualties and are working to find a safe route out of Gaza.
Kirby added: “We are considering other options to get Americans out of Israel by sea.”
The strategic communications coordinator of the American National Security Council emphasized that “there was no consultation with us before the evacuation warning was issued by the Israeli army”, adding: We want to make sure that those who want to leave Gaza are able to do so. Therefore, we are working intensively with the Israelis and the Egyptians to find a safe passage out of southern Gaza. We also want to maintain the ability to provide humanitarian aid.
The White House official declined to provide details on ongoing diplomatic talks. Kirby then said that the United States “routinely” talks with its Israeli counterparts “on issues related to the law of armed conflict and respect for human life.”
“This is a conversation we have had and will have with them,” he said.
According to PNN from New York, the foreign minister of the Biden administration, who is in Qatar, claimed in a press conference with his Qatari counterpart: It is working with Israeli authorities and international aid organizations “to provide assistance to civilians in Gaza,” and urged Israel to “take every possible precaution to prevent harm to civilians.”
While Washington fully supports the Israeli regime in advancing its plans and crimes, Blinken claimed: “We acknowledge that many innocent Palestinian families are suffering in Gaza and Palestinian civilians have lost their lives. We are saddened by the destruction of innocent lives – Israelis, Palestinians, Jews, Christians, Muslims, as well as civilians of all religions and nationalities.”

He added that Washington is working with Israel and aid organizations to create “safe zones” for civilians in Gaza. “We are working on the details, but creating a corridor is a priority for us.”
A US State Department official announced to reporters on Friday, October 13, 2023 local time, that Washington, in talks with Egypt and Israel, stressed the importance of the Rafah crossing being open for American citizens and foreign nationals of other countries who want to enter Gaza.
The US State Department official told reporters traveling with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken that the focus of the US has been on US citizens, but other countries are also trying to remove their citizens.
It is estimated that 500-600 American Palestinians live in Gaza.
According to CNN, American officials have tried to create a humanitarian corridor that would allow Americans and civilians to leave the area before a possible Israeli military invasion of Gaza.
The United Nations announced on Thursday that the Israeli army had informed the organization that “the entire population of Gaza in the north of the area must move to southern Gaza within the next 24 hours.” But the Israeli occupation regime’s spokesperson has stated that any deadline “may not be met.”
According to IRNA, since Saturday, October 7, 2023, the Palestinian resistance forces have launched a comprehensive and unique operation called “Al-Aqsa Storm” from Gaza (southern Palestine) against the positions of the Zionist regime in the occupied territories.
With the start of operations and attacks by the Palestinian resistance forces, in just 20 minutes, 5,000 rockets were launched towards the Zionist positions, and at the same time, Hamas paragliders flew over the occupied territories to make the skies more unsafe for the occupiers than ever.
The Zionist regime, which has suffered a shocking and disgraceful defeat in the battlefield with the Palestinian resistance in the past few days, has closed all the crossings of Gaza with an inhuman act to force the Palestinian resistance to stop the courageous operation of “Al-Aqsa Storm”.
