Palestinians were rioting on the Gaza border as the US officially moved its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem Monday. The clashes on the border became violent as the thousands of protesters rushed the border held by the Israeli Defense Forces. Dozens of Palestinians have died in the clashes.
A reporter asked at the White House press briefing Monday, “In the south of Israel, along the border with Gaza, there was a lot of violence that resulted in more than 41 people losing their lives. Is the president concerned about the demonstrations and Israel’s response of people trying to climb over the fence?”
Shah responded, “The responsibility of the tragic deaths rests squarely with Hamas.” He continued, “Hamas is intentionally provoking this response. As the secretary of State said, Israel has the right to defend itself.”
Shah went on to say the H amas protests are a “propaganda attempt” and that t he “Israeli government spent weeks trying to handle this without violence.”
“Hamas is intentionally and cynically provoking the response,” Shah said bluntly.
