The White House said that talks with Egypt and Israel were continuing over the creation of a humanitarian corridor that would allow civilians to leave Gaza amid concerns over an Israeli ground invasion. White House National Security spokesman John Kirby said that President Joe Biden’s administration supports enabling flow of assistance to residents of Gaza and for civilians to be able to leave through a humanitarian corridor. “The first and most important thing that we’re trying to do is allow for safe passage. Right now they can’t leave so we would have no physical means of permitting that transit out,” Kirby stated.
