Biden officials also weighed in on the IDF's World Central Kitchen report.
After warning over killed aid workers and humanitarian crisis, US looks for 'meaningful' Israeli changes toward GazaIn a tense call on Thursday, President Biden issued a stark warning to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the U.S. would reconsider its policy approach if Israel didn't take concrete steps to better protect civilians and aid workers after Israeli strikes killed seven food relief workers with the World Central Kitchen.
"But we've got to see them execute and implement those things over time," the National Security Council spokesman said, saying Biden was clear with Netanyahu that the U.S. needs to see "meaningful changes."Secretary of State Antony Blinken had a similar message as he spoke at a U.S.-European Union Trade and Technology Council news conference in Belgium on Friday.
"I wouldn't close down decision space for the president but he was very clear with Prime Minister Netanyahu," Kirby said on "GMA." "We've got to see some changes. We've got to see the humanitarian situation improve in Gaza or otherwise we will have to take a look at our own policy and make decisions and change the way that we're supporting Israel.
"We're going to work our way through that investigation ourselves and take a look and see what we think of their findings and conclusions before we make any judgment going forward," Kirby said.
