On Sunday, US President Joe Biden had a disscussion with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and reiterated his clear stance on a potential invasion of Rafah, a city on the Gaza border. The White House did not provide further details on this part of the conversation. Washington has previously stated it could not support an operation in Rafah without a proper and credible humanitarian plan.
White House national security spokesperson John Kirby mentioned earlier that Israel had agreed to consider US concerns and perspectives before proceeding with an invasion. The leaders last spoke on April 13, after Iran launched missile and drone strikes against Israel. Biden reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to Israel's security.
They discussed ongoing efforts to release hostages taken during the October 7 Hamas-led attack and the need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. They also addressed increasing aid deliveries and preparing to open new crossings into Gaza. Biden emphasized the importance of maintaining and improving this progress in full cooperation with humanitarian organizations.
