no question about that. we obviously respect andres decision not to continue operations at least for a time. certainly we respect that. and others may make that decision as you talk about the world food program. we re not seeing any wholesale declination of humanitarian assistance, but yes, that s a concern. the more violent it gets for humanitarian aid workers, the less likely it is they re going to be willing to take those risks, which means it s more likely the people of gaza are going to suffer more. so yes, it s a concern. thank you. secretary blinken during his presser in paris did not condemn the air strike even though as you confirmed there was a dual american citizen who was killed. the french foreign minister who was at the same presser did. you said you re outraged. why is the u.s. not condemning the strike? i think by saying we re outraged, i think you can fairly characterize that as condemning the strike. of course. nobody wants to see this kind of violenc
