Fox News
The White House on Monday defended not publicly calling for a cease-fire in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying the Biden administration’s approach to reducing violence in the region is through "quiet, intensive diplomacy."
"Our focus, our goal, every single action we take, every statement we make, is with the objective of reducing violence and bringing an end to conflict on the ground," Psaki said. "The prism we are making all our decisions through is how we can help to bring an end to violence and de-escalate the situation on the ground, and our calculation, at this point, is having those conversations behind the scenes, weighing in with our important strategic partnership we have with Israel and other countries in the region is the most constructive approach we can take," Psaki said.More Related News
