US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned it is crucial to prevent the war sparked by the Israel-Hamas conflict from becoming a wider, regional conflict.
“It’s critically important that the conflict not spread, and that’s what the United States is focused on,” Yellen said Friday in an interview with Bloomberg News in Marrakech, Morocco, where she’s attending annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.
