    It was certainly a sound bite. But he only clarified “within international law” after the line of questioning became about the siege and resource denial, so he did actively change/update the sound bite to address that specific thing.

    He did somewhat seem on auto pilot with it after hearing the question, so I could believe he might choose to phrase it less poorly given a second chance, but It’s pretty presumptuous.
