The White House: Israel’s attack on Rafah was not crossing the American red line!
| The spokesperson of the National Security Council of the White House claims that he is carefully monitoring the investigation of the attacks of the Zionist regime against Rafah, but the recent massacre in this city has not crossed the American red lines! |
report Mehr News Agency quoted by Reuters, John Kirby, spokesman for the National Security Council of the White House, pointing out that Washington is carefully monitoring the process of the investigation into the recent Israeli attack against the Palestinians in Rafah. He claimed that the attack on Rafah was not an example of a large-scale ground operation and therefore did not cross the American red lines.
Kirby was asked sarcastically by reporters whether the events and killing of civilians over the weekend met the criteria of “carnage and destruction” that US officials are considering. Persuade them to fulfill their promise about stopping further aid to Israel!
In response to this question, he claimed: Israelis have said that this (attack) was a tragic mistake. America does not have a ruler or standard for this issue.
Kirbi further claimed: We have also said that we do not want to see a large-scale ground operation in Rafah. Such an attack would make it very difficult for Israel to pursue Hamas without causing extensive damage and killing. We have not seen such an attack yet!
The senior American official also claimed that the Israeli operations were mainly carried out in a corridor in the countryside; Meanwhile, Reuters wrote yesterday, citing eyewitnesses, that Israeli tanks entered the center of Rafah.
In response to the question whether Israel’s recent ground operation in Rafah will force America to stop further military aid, Kirby said: I believe what I am saying here. .
The recent killing of Palestinians in Rafah has tested US President Joe Biden’s promise to stop sending weapons to Israel in case Tel Aviv attacks Rafah! Kamala Harris, Biden’s deputy, said during an event in Washington: “The word tragic is not even enough to begin to describe (the massacre).
On Sunday night, the Zionist army invaded the border city of Rafah, resulting in the martyrdom of at least 40 Palestinians. This brutal attack caused a wave of international condemnation.
