The American Newspaper Politico reported that the United States has secretly informed ‘Israel’ about the kind of Rafah operation it could support. Senior American officials reportedly told their Israeli counterparts that the Biden administration would back ‘Israel’ in targeting high-value Hamas individuals in and around Rafah, as long as it avoids a large-scale invasion.

Despite doubts within the Biden team about Israel’s intentions for a major military operation in Rafah, a Defense Ministry official stated that there has been no repositioning of Israeli occupation forces indicating that no imminent operation is on the horizon.

Joe Biden reiterated his unwavering support for ‘Israel’, asserting that while a military operation in Rafah would be a red line, he would never abandon ‘Israel’. The contradictory nature of American statements regarding Gaza has raised questions about the true intentions behind the US administration’s actions.
Critics have pointed out the hypocrisy of the American government, calling on them to halt the military and financial aid to Israel to end the suffering of the residents of the Gaza Strip. Despite occasional humanitarian rhetoric, the US’s support for Israeli aggression in Gaza continues, highlighting the need for a more consistent and ethical approach to the situation.
