US Secretary of State Antony Blinken asked Israel to clarify the "justification" for the attack on the Gaza building that is home to some media, including AP and Al Jazeera.

Speaking from Copenhagen, where he is visiting, Blinken then called on Israelis and Palestinians to "protect civilians, especially children". reiterating that Israel, "as a democracy, has a particular duty" to do so. The secretary of state said the US "continues to conduct intense diplomatic activity to end the current cycle of violence" and that it is ready to "support the parties if they reach a ceasefire".
