U.S. State Department Spokesperson Samuel Wlaberg commented on Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to the Middle East.
During his interview with the "From Egypt" program, aired on on Cairo News TV Channel, Wlaberg said, "We have a priority to ensure the entry of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. We will not allow any reduction in the size of Gaza. The United States considers every inch of the Strip to be Palestinian territory."
"We completely reject Israel's re-occupation of the Gaza Strip. We also reject any forcible displacement of Palestinians from the Strip."
