The United States is "actively working" with Israel and Egypt on giving civilians safe passage from Gaza amid the war sparked by a bloody attack by Hamas, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby tells a press briefing. He also says that the United States is "clearly concerned" by rocket attacks by Lebanon's Hezbollah on northern Israel as tensions soar following the surprise assault by Palestinian militant group Hamas. While talking about the new aid package which includes air defense mechanisms and ammunitions for Ukraine, he says, "we are in active conversations with members of Congress about additional funding for Ukraine and for Israel."
