On Thursday, White House spokesperson Josh Earnest criticized Wednesday’s shelling of a United Nations school in Gaza, acknowledging there was little doubt the shells came from Israel.

Josh Earnest: “The shelling of a U.N. facility that is housing innocent civilians who are fleeing violence is totally unacceptable and totally indefensible, and it is clear that we need our allies in Israel to do more to live up to the high standards that they have set for themselves.”
