Washington.- Joe Biden supports Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to exterminate Hamas in the city of Rafah, but proposes a surgical offensive to avoid a humanitarian tragedy in southern Gaza, where almost two million Palestinians are crowded.
“We proposed to the Israeli government alternative methods to defeat Hamas that do not involve a major ground operation in Rafah. “Those conversations with the Israeli government are ongoing,” said John Kirby, Strategic Communications Coordinator at the National Security Council.
He added: The United States “will continue to ensure that Israel has all the military means it needs to defend itself once morest all its enemies, including Hamas.”
Netanyahu’s cabinet and staff have daily dialogue with the White House, the Pentagon, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the State Department, and have decided to slow down the attacks in Rafah and design a humanitarian aid mechanism to appease the conflict. consequences that will arise from a probable combat – street by street – between the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the terrorist group Hamas.
Over the past five days, the Israeli premier deployed a military tactic that involved suppressing more than 100 terrorist targets through limited tank advances, targeted airstrikes and systematic artillery fire, while seizing the border crossing with Egypt and cutting off the Rafah city along the Salah al-Din road.
However, despite having an open flank in their favor to advance towards the center of Rafah, the Israel Defense Forces carried out a succession of surgical strikes that caused no casualties among innocent civilians.
Adding to Netanyahu’s caution is the political decision to transfer the thousands of Palestinian refugees trying to survive in the possible combat zone. This complex movement is supported by the United States, which has made its countless logistical resources available to Israel.
“We want to work with the Israelis so that the people who are in Rafah have shelters, sanitation, food, water, facilities, medical supplies and medical personnel,” said the Security Council spokesperson at the White House.
Along with the proposal to carry out a surgical offensive in Rafah and deploy a system of systematic support for Palestinian refugees, the White House has decided to multiply intelligence help for Israel to exterminate the terrorist leader Yahya Al Sinwar and his main fundamentalist cadres.
The confidential information handled by the Democratic administration assures that terrorist troops began to migrate from the south of Gaza – Rafah is there – to the north of the Strip to survive and recover the ground they lost when Israel began its offensive towards the end of October 2023.
This information delivered to the Israeli War Cabinet plus the data collected on the ground confirmed that Hamas began to move its terrorist troops towards the direction of the Erez Pass.
In this context, the Israel Defense Forces once once more have two open fronts – north and south – while they adjust their war plan to carry out a succession of attacks with the ultimate objective of exterminating Hamas in Rafah.
Biden’s proposal to Netanyahu to avoid a humanitarian tragedy in southern Gaza had a tacit response from the Israeli premier: there are constant attacks on Rafah, but that does not imply a furious offensive as happened in the north when the war was just beginning.
Biden is upset with Netanyahu and has already defined his red lines. The premier stepped back cautiously and awaits the results of the US president’s recommendation. If following a reasonable time, Hamas continues to operate in Rafah and Sinwar is still alive, Netanyahu will call DC and comment in the Oval Office that from that moment on the war in Gaza will be made in his image and likeness.
