America gives Israel the green light to attack Rafah

The US President Joe Biden’s government is still busy with what kind of aggression from the occupying regime it can accept in the city of Rafah, while the American officials know very well that the Zionist regime is seeking to “destroy the four Hamas battalions in the city of Rafah”. .

Politico magazine, citing four American officials, wrote in a report: “Senior American officials have signaled to Israel during a private conversation that they can support a plan that is more like an anti-terrorism operation than an all-out war.” U.S. officials argue that this would minimize civilian casualties, weaken Hamas and avoid scenes that have fueled public opinion about the Israeli campaign and Biden’s handling of the war.

With its hypocritical position, the Biden administration claims that it wants to dissuade the Zionist regime from attacking the city of Rafah and killing civilians and focus more on the leaders of the Hamas movement.

Politico first reported that Biden would condition some future military aid to the Zionist regime in the event of a major attack on Rafah, although National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan called this and other similar stories “ignorant speculation.” are.

A Zionist official also talked about this sensitive issue on the condition of anonymity and claimed: “There is no doubt that the Israeli forces will start some kind of operation. We cannot win this war without the defeat of the Hamas battalions in Rafah.”

For the 160th day, the war of the Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip continues in the midst of continued violent bombings and killings in different areas of the Gaza Strip amid the aggravation of widespread hunger and famine, especially in the north.

Nathan Sachs, director of the West Asia Policy Center at the Brookings Institution, said: “It is important to analyze what a major attack would entail. I don’t think that over time Israel will give up on pursuing the Hamas leaders in Rafah, but it may wait and, given the objections of the United States, they will conduct a more targeted and perhaps less damaging operation or a series of smaller operations.”
