The United States should support an Israeli operation to defeat Hamas in Rafah.

The Israel Defense Forces have experienced significant battlefield success in Gaza, rapidly gaining ground while enduring fewer losses than anticipated. Top Hamas operatives have been killed. The terrorist organization’s capabilities have been severely degraded. Eighteen of Hamas’s 24 battalions reportedly have been destroyed. Significant civilian casualties have been suffered, but this is sadly inevitable in urban conflict.

Rafah, on the Egyptian border, has become Hamas’s last holdout. Top commanders have fled to the town, where it is believed that Hamas is keeping many of the remaining 133 hostages, including several. No fewer than 3,000 terrorists are reportedly holed up with them. Ditto for many Palestinian civilians, whom Hamas has used as human shields. Still, Rafah is key.

Israel has also been clear. Jerusalem seeks Hamas’s destruction. And the IDF is well on its way to achieving its war aim. The White House should stand by its longtime ally and not buckle to pressure from fringe protesters on college campuses. That’s the right move, both morally and strategically.
