White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on April 1 said the U.S. supports press freedoms
"So, as it relates to, and I think you're speaking specifically, at least the reports that we've seen is about Al Jazeera specifically. But it doesn't matter whichever, right? Journalists more broadly. But to those particular report, we've seen the reports, and certainly I'm going to refer to Israel for what they may or may not be considering.
But if it is true, if it is true, a move like this is concerning. We believe in the freedom of the press. It is critical. It is critically important. And the United States supports the critically important work journalists around the world do. And so, and that includes those who are reporting in the conflict in Gaza. So we believe that work is important. The freedom of the press is important. And if those reports are true, it is concerning to us."
