Linda Thomas-Greenfield: “We have raised our concerns about human rights violations, about reports and allegations of extrajudicial killings.”

Basic humanitarian assistance should never be held hostage to political disagreements.

We have held the doors open for meaningful diplomacy and we remain open to dialogue, real productive dialogue without preconditions.

We are prepared to have an open dialogue with the North Koreans without preconditions. We want to pursue diplomacy.

We absolutely support Israel's right to defend itself from this brutal attack on its own territory that we all witnessed at over the weekend.
