Axios: American-Israeli division over the Rafah operation. The virtual meeting, which lasted for two and a half hours, took place earlier this week.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled his delegation’s visit to the U.S. due to its decision not to object to the UN Security Council's decision to vote in favor of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. A large part of the meeting focused on how to evacuate more than a million Palestinians in the city of Rafah. The Biden administration expressed its concern about the rapid and unorganized evacuation, warning that this could lead to a humanitarian disaster.
