White House says Israel's Rafah strike and ground assault don't cross Biden's 'red line'
The White House has indicated that Israel's recent military actions in Rafah, including strikes and a limited ground assault, do not violate President Biden's established "red line." According to U.S. officials, the operations carried out so far have been smaller, targeted missions aimed at counterterrorism, rather than the large-scale invasion that the U.S. warned against .
National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby described the operation as limited in scope and duration, and not a major offensive that would endanger the civilian population significantly The Biden administration has maintained that any major ground operation threatening civilians would necessitate a reassessment of U.S. policy towards Israel. Despite concerns, the current actions are viewed as falling short of this threshold
President Biden has reiterated his support for Israel but has emphasized the need for civilian protection and a plan to address humanitarian concerns. The administration is closely monitoring the situation to ensure that it does not escalate into a broader conflict that could lead to significant civilian casualties
