US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan addressed reporters at the White House on Wednesday afternoon for the first time since returning from a weekend trip to Saudi Arabia and Israel at a critical moment for the relations between the countries, Paralel.Az reports citing Jerusalem Post.

Israel’s operation in Rafah was a focal point of his meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other members of the war cabinet, he said.

“What we have seen so far in terms of Israel’s military operations in that area has been more targeted and limited,” Sullivan said, “and has not involved major military operations into the heart of dense urban areas... We now have to see what unfolds from here.”
