President Joe Biden has warned Israel that the US will stop supplying some weapons if it launches a major ground operation in the Gaza city of Rafah.
Despite firm and vocal US opposition, Israel appears poised to mount a large-scale invasion of Rafah.
The congested part of southern Gaza is Hamas’s last major stronghold in the territory as US officials warn that an operation in the city – where the population has swelled with refugees from other parts of Gaza – could lead to extensive civilian casualties. END
Mr. Biden said the US did not define the current situation in Rafah as a ground operation, acknowledging that US weapons had been used by Israel to kill civilians in Gaza. END
