The President and I both stressed in our conversations with the Israeli government the need for Israel to operate by the law of war and in accordance with international humanitarian law and to take all possible measures to avoid civilian…

Civilians must be able to stay out of harm's way, a task that is made even more difficult as Hamas uses civilians as human shields.

We're standing up for our interests and values--not shrinking back.

The President's request would secure the urgent resources America needs to continue to lead.
