US President warns that Israeli military operation in Rafah would deepen anarchy in Gaza
FILE PHOTO: A Palestinian stands at the site of an Israeli strike on a house, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamasthat an Israeli military operation in Rafah would deepen anarchy in Gaza and they agreed that teams from each side would meet in Washington to discuss it, the White House said.
“Anarchy reigns in areas that Israel’s military has cleared, but not stabilized” in Gaza and a humanitarian crisis would deepen if Israel were to go ahead with an offensive in Rafah, Sullivan said, summarizing Biden’s message to Netanyahu. Biden told Netanyahu that he needs a coherent strategy for Gaza, Sullivan said, “rather than Israel go smashing into Rafah.” He reiterated US support for the Israeli effort to destroy Hamas militants who attacked southern Israel on Oct. 7.
This would be done “while providing the necessary humanitarian aid that helps achieve those goals,” he said in a statement.
