U.S. Indicates Initial Satisfaction with Changes to Israeli Military Plans for Rafah
(Times of Israel) Jacob Magid - A senior Biden administration official said Tuesday, "It's fair to say that the Israelis have updated their plans [for a military offensive in Rafah]. They've incorporated many of the concerns that we have expressed." Earlier this month, Israel launched targeted operations in the eastern neighborhoods of Rafah and at the border crossing with Egypt. Ahead of those operations, nearly 2/3 of the Rafah population fled to humanitarian zones to the west. The U.S. official noted that the situation in Rafah has changed dramatically over the past several weeks, given the mass evacuation of Palestinians.
