White House: Israel's call to move Gaza civilians is "a tall order"

WASHINGTON:

Israel's call

for more than 1 million civilians in northern Gaza to move within 24 hours is going to be a "tall order," White House national security spokesman John Kirby said on Friday.
"That is a lot of people to move in a very short period of time," Kirby said in an interview on MSNBC. "We understand what they're trying to do and why they're trying to do this -- to try to isolate the civilian population from Hamas, which is their real target."
