CNN’s Jake Tapper grilled senior White House advisor Jake Sullivan Sunday, over Israel cutting off water to Gaza and creating a “humanitarian crisis” (videos above).

In addition, Tapper questioned whether the U.S. is attempting to rescue American citizens being held hostage in Gaza.

‘Is rescuing the hostages a priority at all?’ Tapper pressed Sullivan.

‘I mean, Israeli news media like Haaretz, they say it doesn’t seem like it at all,’ he added. ‘And frankly, Jake, if my kids were being held hostage in Gaza and as you know, there are Americans being held hostage in Gaza right now, I’d want you to send in the Navy SEALs. What’s the conversation like in the White House about the U.S. conducting any sort of operations in order to save Americans being held hostage in Gaza?’

Sullivan insisted: ‘Well, the president has been very clear that he has no higher priority than getting Americans back safe, Americans who are being held hostage by Hamas.’

‘The Israelis are bombing the crap out of Gaza! And Jake, I mean, it doesn’t seem like saving the hostages are a priority at all right now,’ Tapper pressed.

‘Well, for President Biden, they are a priority. They’re the highest possible priority,’ Sullivan repeated.

Biden’s National Security Advisor added: ‘I have to be cautious about how much I can say about certain efforts he’s undertaking, because we want to protect those efforts to give us the best possible chance of getting our people home.’

Jack misses a key point, shutting off electricity isn’t to punish civilians its to stranglee hamas. They are in tunnels now and those tunnels need electricity. Their rockets needs electricity etc. We need to cut it off so we can flesh out the terrorists nazis. Re food well we know they hid stiff in food trucks. Re all the children of Gaza, well Hamas bu8ilds offices in high rise residential building, kindergartens and hospitals. We aren’t targeting kids.
