White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby told NewsNation today that they are trying to convince Hamas to stop attacking the pier they built for humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.
Here’s what he said:
NEW: The White House says it has been communicated to Hamas that the US involvement at the shore of Gaza is purely for humanitarian support, not any sort of military operation. John Kirby told @NewsNation Friday.

Kirby said that there is information going around the region that the pier has some sort of military capacity for the IDF and he said, “it just doesn’t.”

“It’s nothing more than humanitarian assistance and we’ve also passed that message back through the appropriate channels to Hamas, so they understand exactly what this is.”

People on X have been quick to point out the stupidity of this move by the White House:
“We are asking the terrorist group who stormed a music festival to please not attack us.” https://t.co/JN0BSbnJT6

The ignorance of the enemy is mind boggling.
Hamas isn’t attacking the pier because they think it has a military purpose. They are attacking it because they see it as a chance to hit the US and limit aid routes they don’t control. Sending them a nice letter won’t change that. https://t.co/QV1Kokh2IM

The Obama-Biden foreign policy team starts from an assumption of good faith and rationality in Iran and its terrorist proxies.
They are all idiots. https://t.co/Xlya0yI0FA— Grant Bosse (@grantbosse) May 18, 2024
I am sure the group that celebrated killing babies and old persons and raping of women will absolutely be civil now. https://t.co/QCGc68X8GC
