Deadly Strike in Rafah Did Not Cross Biden’s Red Line, Officials Say - theold - 29-05-2024
President Biden has threatened to cut off the supply of some weapons if Israel mounts a major offensive in Rafah. “We haven’t seen that,” a White House spokesman said.
U.S. officials said on Tuesday that the Israeli strike that killed dozens of Palestinians in southern Gaza was a tragedy but that it did not violate President Biden’s red line for withholding weapons shipments to Israel.
John F. Kirby, a White House spokesman, said the deaths were “devastating” but that the scale of the attack was not enough to change U.S. policy. “We don’t want to see a major ground operation,” Mr. Kirby told reporters. “We haven’t seen that.”
