Kirby added, "It is ugly and it’s going to be messy, and innocent civilians are going to be hurt going forward." The spokesman emphasized that the administration supported pauses in the conflict to allow the flow of humanitarian aid and to help facilitate the safe return of hostages and people from Gaza. He also mentioned, "We’re going to continue to make sure Israel has the tools and the capabilities that they need to defend themselves."
