This is the best summary I could come up with:

White House spokesperson John Kirby was slammed after he claimed that the Israeli military is doing a better job at protecting civilians in Gaza than their American counterparts would.

This caused anger by many on social media, particularly on the left, where The Nation writer Jeet Heer argued: 'If I were in the Pentagon I'd be very upset that a government spokesperson was saying that the US military is less mindful of civilian life than the IDF.'

'This is the American government quite literally willing to sully the image of their own military - undoubtedly the most sacred institution in the country - and sacrifice it so that Israel can continue its carnage.

'Now, obviously, those steps, while noteworthy, haven't been enough to reduce the civilian casualties, which is why the president spoke so forthrightly about it yesterday and why we're going to continue to do everything we can to press the Israelis to be more careful,' he said.

Kirby noted that 'we are working very, very closely with our Israeli counterparts' and added that they would not support a military operation in Rafah that did not account for refugees.

President Biden welcomed Jordan´s King Abdullah II to the White House Monday for talks on how to end the months-long war and plan for what comes afterward.
