US warns Israel over sending troops into Rafah

President Joe Biden has criticized Israel's conduct in the Gaza Strip, describing it as "over the top" following a series of Israeli air strikes on the city of Rafah. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced and are facing difficult choices between staying in overcrowded cities or returning to dangerous areas. The US, along with other countries, has expressed concerns about the situation and called for a ceasefire. Meanwhile, Israel has been responding to attacks from Hamas and Hezbollah, with about 30 rockets fired into northern Israel from Lebanon. Biden's comments came as he faced increasing domestic pressure to take a stronger stance against Israel. In other news, Meir Baruchin, a teacher who was previously detained as a "high-risk detainee," has been given permission to teach again at Yitzhak Shamir High School in Petah Tikva. The conflict has resulted in the deaths of 13 people in Gaza. US officials, including John Kirby and Penny Wong from Australia, have urged caution and called for aid to be delivered to those affected by the violence. However, there are concerns about the UNRWA's ability to deliver aid effectively due to the ongoing conflict.
