- State Department spokesperson dismissed starving Gaza journalists — During a press conference, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce noted that local journalists who are starving in Gaza aren't "at the top of our list," saying, "When you go somewhere and you know it's a war zone, that's a risk that is taken and accepted." Bruce added that the department's focus is on "hostages" and removing "a terrorist group controlling a section of a country." Palestinian journalists in Gaza live with their families in the enclave and are not allowed to leave without Israel's permission; Israel has refused to allow foreign journalists to enter outside of Israeli military-planned propaganda trips.
