The dialogue between TRT World Reporter Yunus Paksoy and Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Ned Price was like a summary of the US point of view.
Paksoy said, “You condemned the Palestinian rocket attacks against Israel, but yesterday you did not make a condemnation about the children killed in Israeli attacks.
