John Kirby is worried about the situation getting worse, but he confirmed this at the same time
The United States supports Israel in its defense and its diplomats are constantly negotiating to reduce tensions. At the same time, Kirby confirmed the news of America's redeployment of its forces in the Middle East to protect Israel.
The advisor explained that negotiations on a ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement scheduled to be held Thursday in Doha will be held, in which the delegation of the armed Palestinian movement is also expected to participate. In response to the suggestion that Hamas representatives, according to Monday's announcement, would not be present at the ceasefire talks, John Kirby stated that “according to our belief, Hamas will be present.” The White House adviser stated that if Iran attacks Israel in some way before Thursday, that could also affect ceasefire efforts.
John Kirby did not confirm the press report that Iran hacked the campaign of Republican candidate Donald Trump for the presidential elections, but he recalled a previous American intelligence report that stated that Iran is trying to influence the democratic process of the American elections by targeting actors in the election campaign.
