Addressing the Aspen Security Forum, White House aide John Finer said the US has “not given a firm deadline to Israel” to end its military operations in Gaza.
“It’s not really our role, this is their conflict,” Finer said.
“That said, we do have influence, even if we don’t have ultimate control over what happens on the ground in Gaza, and we are trying to use our influence to steer that conflict in the most constructive, in our view, way possible,” he said.
Earlier this week, CNN reported that the US expects Israel to wrap up major combat operations in Gaza “by January”.
