美国正在推动美国人通过埃及离开加沙在不断升级的以色列-哈马斯战争中白宫国家安全顾问周日表示，在本月早些时候以色列遭受恐怖袭击后。
“我们一直在夜以继日地工作。杰克·沙利文告诉美国广播公司“本周”节目主持人玛莎·拉达兹:“我们有一个专门的团队，他们的工作就是:帮助在加沙的美国公民安全通过边境进入埃及。”。
沙利文说:“这很困难，因为正在进行的行动，坦率地说，因为哈马斯在一些情况下进行干预，使巴勒斯坦人、巴勒斯坦裔美国人和其他人很难前往边境口岸并通过。”。“我们正在努力工作。”
沙利文说:“我们的目标是确保在加沙的每一个美国人都能安全离开，在这一目标实现之前，我们不会罢休。”。
两名生活在加沙的美国人本周末告诉美国广播公司新闻，虽然国务院一直与他们保持联系，但他们一直无法越过埃及边境。“要让所有人都出来需要几个小时，”其中一人玛哈·巴拉卡特说。
周日早些时候，美国驻耶路撒冷大使馆发布了一项安全警报，告诉美国人如果他们在哈马斯控制的巴勒斯坦领土上，就立即向南移动，这是在以色列可能对加沙进行地面入侵之前。
“能够安全离开的美国公民被建议现在转移到加沙南部，加沙山谷以南的汗尤尼斯，”大使馆周日早上发出警告，并补充说，“我们正在为美国公民离开加沙制定潜在的选择。”
10月7日，哈马斯从邻近的加沙向以色列发起了攻击。这个激进的政治组织已经统治该地区大约16年，导致以色列和埃及对该地区的封锁。
美国总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)呼吁以色列在报复性军事行动中考虑巴勒斯坦平民，周六晚上他谈到了加沙正在发生的“人道主义危机”。
“一周前，我们看到仇恨以另一种方式表现出来:在大屠杀以来最严重的犹太人大屠杀中，”拜登在人权理事会(Human Rights Council)国家晚宴上的演讲接近尾声时说，他将LGBTQ+人群面临的困境与以色列的袭击联系起来。
“超过1300名无辜者在以色列丧生，其中至少包括27名美国人。儿童和祖父母都被哈马斯绑架，扣为人质，”总统说，并补充说，“无辜的巴勒斯坦家庭-其中绝大多数与哈马斯无关-他们被用作人盾。”
Raddatz在“本周”节目中问沙利文，考虑到拜登的评论，美国是否对以色列迄今的反应感到满意。

据巴勒斯坦官员称，超过2300名巴勒斯坦人在加沙被杀，其中包括700多名儿童，而且食物和水短缺。
“我们与联合国保持联系，以帮助确保向加沙公民提供必要的食物、水和药品，这些巴勒斯坦人与实施这次袭击的野蛮恐怖分子毫无关系，”沙利文说。
当被Raddatz问及美国对以色列军事行动的看法时，Sullivan说:“我们相信战争法则，我们相信完全没有必要获得人道主义物资。我们将继续努力。”
在“本周”的另一个节目中，以色列国防军中校彼得·勒纳说，军方的目标是“从上到下，通过其机构，一直到屠杀我们婴儿的个人，打击哈马斯。”
勒纳为以色列迄今向加沙平民发出的警告进行了辩护，尽管联合国批评以色列命令加沙地带北部地区的人们向南撤离是“不可能的”
沙利文在露面时说，美国还在努力寻找15名仍然下落不明的美国人。
"我们现在还不知道他们在加沙的什么地方吗?"拉达茨问道。
“这是一个动态的情况，”沙利文回答说。“我们不能说我们对每一个美国人都有一个固定的位置，甚至我们知道每一个被关押的美国人。”
沙利文补充说:“我们不知道其中有多少人被扣为人质，我们也不知道其中有多少人不幸死亡，他们的尸体尚未被确认。”
沙利文还说，虽然他不能证实有关伊朗通过联合国发出信息，如果以色列在加沙的军事行动继续进行，他们将进行干预的报道的准确性，但他说，美国担心以色列北部与黎巴嫩边境的冲突可能会加剧。
沙利文说:“这就是为什么拜登总统如此明确而有力地表示，任何国家和任何团体都不应该试图利用这一局势为自己谋利，或者应该使冲突升级。”
US 'dedicated' to helping Americans leave Gaza through Egypt amid Israel-Hamas war: Sullivan
The United States is pushing for Americans to get out of Gaza through Egyptamid the escalating Israel-Hamas warin the wake of a terror attack on Israel earlier this month, the White House's national security adviser said on Sunday.
"We have been working around the clock. We have an entire dedicated team that is working on nothing but this: helping American citizens who are in Gaza be able to get safe passage through the border crossing to Egypt," Jake Sullivan told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz.
"That has been difficult because of the ongoing operations and, frankly, because Hamas has intervened in some cases to make it hard for Palestinians, Palestinian Americans and others to be able to travel to the border crossing and get through," Sullivan said. "We're working that hard."
"Our goal is to ensure that every American who is in Gaza has safe passage out, and we will not rest until that happens," Sullivan said.
Two Americans living in Gaza told ABC News this weekend that while the State Department has been in touch with them, they have been unable to cross the Egyptian border. "It will take hours to get everyone out," one of them, Maha Barakat, said.
Early on Sunday, the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem issued a security alert telling Americans to immediately move south if they are in the Palestinian territory that Hamas controls, ahead of an expected Israeli ground invasion of Gaza.
"U.S. citizens who can do so safely are advised to move to southern Gaza, south of Gaza Valley towards Khan Younis now," the embassy alerted early Sunday morning, adding, "We are working on potential options for departure from Gaza for U.S. citizens."
Hamas launched its attack on Israel from neighboring Gaza on Oct. 7. The militant political group has ruled the territory for approximately 16 years, leading to a blockade of the area by Israel and Egypt.
President Joe Biden, who has called on Israel to take Palestinian civilians into consideration during their retaliatory military operations, on Saturday night talked about the unfolding "humanitarian crisis" in Gaza.
"A week ago, we saw hate manifest in another way: in the worst massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust," Biden said near the end of his speech at the Human Rights Council's national dinner, drawing a connection between the hardships faced by LGBTQ+ people and the attacks in Israel.
"More than 1,300 innocent lives lost in Israel, including at least 27 Americans. Children and grandparents alike kidnapped, held hostage by Hamas," the president said, adding, "Innocent Palestinian families -- and the vast majority of them have nothing to do with Hamas -- they're being used as human shields."
Raddatz asked Sullivan on "This Week," considering Biden's comments, whether the U.S. was satisfied with Israel's response thus far.
More than 2,300 Palestinians has been killed in Gaza, including more than 700 children, according to Palestinian officials, and there is a shortage of food and water.
"We're in touch with the United Nations to help secure the necessary supplies of food water and medicine to the citizens of Gaza, those Palestinians who have nothing to do with the barbaric terrorists who carried out this attack," Sullivan said, in part.
Pressed by Raddatz about the U.S. view of Israel's military operation, Sullivan said, "We believe in the laws of war and we believe in the full unnecessary access to humanitarian supplies. And we're going to keep working on that."
In a separate appearance on "This Week," Israel Defense Forces Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said the military's goal is to "strike Hamas from the top, through its institutions, all the way down to the individuals that conducted the butchering of our babies."
Lerner defended Israel's warnings to Gaza civilians so far, though the U.N. has criticized an Israeli order for people in the northern region of the strip to evacuate south as "impossible."
Sullivan, in his appearance, said the U.S. is also working to recover 15 Americans who are still unaccounted for.
"Do we not have any idea where they are in Gaza at this point?" Raddatz asked.
"It is a dynamic situation," Sullivan replied. "We cannot say that we have a fixed location for every American or even that we know every American who is being held."
Sullivan added: "We don't know how many of those are being held as hostages and we don't know how many of those, tragically, are deceased and their bodies have not yet been identified."
Sullivan also said that though he could not confirm the accuracy of reports that Iran sent a message through the U.N. that they would intervene if Israeli's military operations in Gaza go forward, he did say the U.S. is worried of a potential intensifying conflict along Israel's northern border with Lebanon.
"That is why President Biden has been so clear and forceful in saying that no state and no group should seek to exploit this situation to their advantage or should escalate the conflict," Sullivan said.
