On Friday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Katy Tur Reports," White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said that the suffering that the population of Gaza is experiencing is the fault of Hamas and their choice "to break a ceasefire and attack Israel." And stated that Israel’s decision to open up the Kerem Shalom border crossing into Gaza for the delivery of items including fuel was done at the "urging" of the United States, "and the United States is leading that effort."
