US Senator: We cannot continue to fund Netanyahu's war machine. US Senator Bernie Sanders said that there is global anger at the Netanyahu government.

Senator Chris Van Hollen said that Netanyahu's ignoring of President Joe Biden's warnings makes the U.S. appear helpless. The White House is considering a response if Israel defies Biden's warning against invading Rafah without protecting civilians, NBC quoted American officials as saying. It also attributed to American officials that they advised Israel to avoid a large operation in Rafah and replace it with “missions more targeted at terrorists”
