The White House has said it will not support any Israeli plans for major military operations in Rafah and that Secretary of State Anthony Blinken made US concerns clear.
“Any major military operation in Rafah right now, under these circumstances, with more than a million — possibly more than a million and a half — Palestinians seeking refuge and taking refuge in Rafah without due consideration for their safety, it would be a disaster and we will not support itsaid White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby.
At the State Department, deputy spokesman Vedant Patel said: “We have yet to see any evidence of serious planning for such an operation and To carry out such an operation now without planning and thoughtlessly in an area where a million people have taken refuge would be a disaster.”
He stressed that the United States “would not support” an operation of such a scale, which carries the risk of significant civilian casualties, and recalled that the Rafah crossing is a vital point for the transfer of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
The head of American diplomacy Anthony Blinken, who today concluded his tour of the Middle East region aimed at encouraging efforts to end the fighting, told this directly to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his talks in Jerusalem yesterday, Wednesday, the spokesman said.
Blinken publicly urged Israel to consider civilians “first and foremost” in preparing for an operation in Rafah.
The Israeli army, as reported by APE-MPE, today escalated its strikes in Rafah and the Israeli prime minister said he ordered the preparation of an operation there, intensifying fears for the fate of 1.3 million Palestinians — more than 50% of population of Gaza — the vast majority of whom are displaced by the conflicts of recent months in the northern part of the Strip.
“We have ordered the Israel Defense Forces to prepare an operation in RafahBenjamin Netanyahu explained in a televised speech on Wednesday, as the war entered its fifth month.
