US asks Israel for ‘explanation’ of strike on Gaza refugee camp
Israel’s strike on the Jabalia refugee camp has led to more intense pushback from the Biden administration.
The Biden administration requested Israel detail the thinking and process behind the recent strike on the Jabalia Refugee Camp in Northern Gaza, according to a U.S. official, who like others was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive conversations.
"The U.S. asked for an explanation of the first [attack] on Jabalia," said the official, adding that the conversation was in the context of "asking Israel to do more to avoid civilian casualties."

Israel: “Because, fuck your.”
US: “Oh ok.” Signs check over for billions more in aid and weapons.
"cmon, they're brown"
"oh yeah, my bad, carry on, here's more money"
Israeli forces have already released explanations regarding these strikes to the press:
First strike:
An Israel Defense Forces statement said the strike on Jabalia, Gaza's largest refugee camp, had killed Ibrahim Biari. It said he was a ringleader of what it called the "murderous terror attack" on Oct. 7.

The Israeli military said its fighter jets struck a Hamas command and control complex in Jabalia "based on precise intelligence," killing the head of the Islamist group's anti-tank missile unit, Muhammad A'sar.
"Hamas deliberately builds its terror infrastructure under, around and within civilian buildings, intentionally endangering Gazan civilians," an Israeli statement said.
https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-military-jets-strike-gaza-camp-says-hamas-commander-killed-2023-11-01/It seems like the US wants some press showing they are concerned, I would be surprised if they didn't already know exactly what is happening and why.
I only hire murders to watch my children, said the man who lost his loved ones to the famous family murderer. When asked why the man relayed that "his CV was quite impressive and he provided references."
Israel's explanation: Palestinians bombed themselves.
What's to explain? The Palestinian problem isn't going to solve itself, y'know. So obviously, the IDF needs to provide a little final assistance.
I only wish this was a joke in exceptionally poor taste on my part, but Bibi flat out admitted that the goal was ethnic cleansing, so here we are...
So Mr Biden, how is the weapon deal behind the Senate going?
This is theater, right? The committees in Congress get briefed on exactly what's happening, and they act like they don't have exact details, and video (probably in 8k resolution), etc
Either that, the foundations of attempting plausible deniability or most interesting, possibly them beginning to publicly lessen support. Bibi has said he's full steam ahead no matter what and as people begin to die of dehydration/starvation this is going to be an anchor around any neck tied to it. Could very well all be shit too, but the actual humanitarian situation is teetering on the edge of a mass casualty event via collective punishment.
Bibi sensing his end may be yoloing this to take the wrap for the "Palestinian Solution." Even the corrupt can sacrifice for beliefs, no matter how grotesque they may be.
I saw that comic the other day. The answer to this is "It was a Hamas base of operations."
To over-egg this comment: "What gave you the impression Hamas were there?" "There were Palestinians there." "..." "..."
Plot twist: US asks Russia for 'explanation' on Donbass military attack.
