With Most Civilians Moved Safely, Is the U.S. Still Opposed to the IDF's Rafah Operation?
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Israel has resolved the debate with the U.S. over whether Palestinian civilians taking refuge in Rafah could be moved without a mass loss of civilian life. Israel said "yes," and the U.S. said "no." Between 2/3 and 80% of the Palestinian civilian population has now been moved out of Rafah with a minimal number of casualties in under two weeks. American concerns about harm to Rafah civilians were not realized. If those concerns led Washington to threaten an offensive arms embargo against Israel, then perhaps that threat can now be removed.
