The spokesperson for the US Department of State, Matthew Miller, stated in a release that Blinken, during his meeting with Netanyahu, "emphasized the need to consider humanitarian needs and protect civilians in the southern sector before any military operation there."

Miller added that Blinken "urged Israel to take all possible measures to avoid harming civilians."
