The international community continues efforts to evacuate civilians from the Gaza Strip, after an initial batch of foreign nationals was allowed to enter Egypt on Wednesday for the first time since the start of the conflict.
Egypt is now working for 7,000 international passport holders to traverse the crossing, the country's foreign ministry said.
More than 20,000 people remain injured with limited health care in the Gaza Strip due to the onslaught on the territory, according to Doctors Without Borders.
He made the comments in response to a protester interrupting him at a fundraiser, calling for a cease-fire.
Later this week, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected to travel to Tel Aviv, Israel and Amman, Jordan.
