Israel reacts to Biden weapons pause over Rafah

TEL AVIV — Israel is recalibrating the following steps of its warfare towards Hamas following warnings by President Biden that the USA will lower off offensive weapons shipments if the Israeli army advances into Rafah, the southern Gazan metropolis that’s harboring greater than 1 million Palestinians.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has but to answer Biden’s unprecedented coverage shift. However Yaakov Amidror, a former nationwide safety adviser to Netanyahu, mentioned that “the shock” of the warning has caught Israel off guard and can compel the warfare cupboard to rethink whether or not and the way it will enter Rafah — “if it should bear the consequence of getting into with out American help, or if it should cease the operation, which can enable Hamas to be unhurt within the space.”
