💥Kirby: “I can't speak for PM Netanyahu. I can't answer the question why he said what he said, and I certainly can't begin to speculate about what considerations went into that statement, whether they were political or operational or otherwise. Those are questions that he needs to be asked and should be given the opportunity to answer. What I can tell you is that statement we worked on last night wasn't just drawn up in a vacuum. It was done after careful consultation, not only with the countries that signed on to it, but Israel itself, and we had every reason to believe that in the drafting of it and in the delivery of it, that that the Israelis were fully informed and fully aware of every word in it. And we wouldn't have done it…if we didn't believe that it would be received with the seriousness with which it was composed.
