US Confirms Israel's Actions in Rafah Do Not Exceed Red Lines
ai generated text
According to reports, Israeli forces have engaged in close-quarters combat with Hamas fighters in Rafah, and additional troops have been deployed to the southern Gaza Strip. Residents of Rafah have reported increased air strikes by Israel, which has also taken control of 75% of the buffer zone along the Gaza-Egypt border.

The escalating civilian death toll and deepening humanitarian catastrophe make clear that the Biden administration should pause additional offensive military assistance to the Netanyahu government until we know that all the president's requests, including with respect to Rafah and the urgent delivery of humanitarian assistance, will be respected.
You cannot reach a conclusion about the results of these investigations in the middle of a conflict.
We have not seen them smash into Rafah - we have not seen them go in with large units, large numbers of troops in columns and formations in some sort of coordinated maneuver against multiple targets on the ground.That is a major ground operation. We have not seen that.
I don't know how anybody could dispute that they were trying to go after Hamas in a targeted precise way.
There should be no innocent life lost here as a result of this conflict.
There are currently 60 WHO trucks [in Egypt] waiting to get into Gaza.
If the incursion would continue, we would lose that last hospital in Rafah.
