Prime Minister Netanyahu hopes that he and President Joe Biden can overcome their difference of opinion over potential Israeli military operations in Rafah.
governments have publicly disagreed over these potential military operations due to concerns that they could lead to significant numbers of civilian casualties given more than a million people have fled there during the war.
Earlier this week, Biden threatened to halt future offensive military aid to Israel, while the administration has already held up a shipment of thousands of large bombs due to concerns about the damage they could cause in a densely populated area like Rafah. It also came after weeks of public messaging from the administration strongly stating their opposition to a full-scale ground invasion without comprehensive planning for the more than 1 million Palestinians that have already fled to Rafah during the war.and has proceeded south. Rafah, which is along Gaza’s southern border with Egypt, is the last remaining place Israel has yet to conduct operations.
