A U.S. State Department representative responded by emphasizing the administration's concern over all civilian casualties, including journalists. The official stated that their work is committed to preventing the loss of innocent lives, though they refrained from commenting on specific incidents, deferring instead to Israel for details regarding al-Sharif. The official underscored that Israel has presented evidence claiming al-Sharif's involvement in Hamas activities and encouraged journalists and others to seek official information directly from Israeli authorities.
