00:00 Blinken told Israel it must avoid further mass displacement of Palestinians and limit
00:07 civilian casualties.
00:08 Take a listen.
00:11 In my meetings today with the Prime Minister and senior Israeli officials, I made clear
00:15 that before Israel resumes major military operations, it must put in place humanitarian
00:21 civilian protection plans that minimize further casualties of innocent Palestinians.
00:27 That means taking more effective steps to protect the lives of civilians, including
00:31 by clearly and precisely designating areas and places in southern and central Gaza where
00:35 they can be safe and out of the line of fire.
00:39 It means avoiding further significant displacement of civilians inside of Gaza.
