The U.S. has advised Israel to delay a ground invasion of Gaza to allow more aid into the territory and time for hostages to be released, an official told ABC News.
But at the same time, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said the U.S. has been communicating with Israel from the start about strategies and goals in responding to Hamas' unprecedented terror attacks.
"We're not in the business of dictating terms to them and we certainly are not gonna be in the business here in the White House of previewing any future operations one way or the other," he continued. "That would be inappropriate." Kirby said it's "critically important" that the assistance continue to flow into Gaza whether there is a ground invasion or not. He said the administration shared concerns of aid potentially falling into Hamas' hands but there's been no indication that's happened with any of the deliveries so far.
