Is there anywhere in Gaza that's safe?
The White House condemned the shelling of a U.N. shelter in Gaza on Wednesday that was holding more than 3,000 Palestinians.
At least 20 people were killed, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
The White House is not blaming Israel for the attack, but the U.N. says it was Israeli artillery that ripped through the building.
CNN’s Jake Tapper and former Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, discuss whether this condemnation is a sign of a rift between the U.S. and Israel.
