The United States is against the displacement of Palestinians from the battered Gaza Strip to another country, its special envoy for humanitarian affairs in the Middle East, David Satterfield, told Lebanese broadcaster al-Jadeed on Wednesday.
Satterfield said Gazans displaced to the strip's south by Israel's military operations "must be allowed to return to homes in the north as soon as possible."
He said the U.S. "wants to see Israel succeed in its campaign," and warned Lebanese Hezbollah to halt missile fire on Israel if it wanted to avoid an escalation.
