Brown presented Halevy with a proposal regarding a possible military operation in Rafah, according to the Israeli (European) Broadcasting Corporation.
The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation said that the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Charles Brown, expressed during talks with his Israeli counterpart Herzi Halevi a few days ago his frustration at the lack of plans by Israel for the day after the war in the Gaza Strip.
It quoted Brown as saying that his country would not accept the killing of thousands of civilians in Rafah during the military operation that Israel is threatening in the city, which is crowded with about 1.5 million Palestinians.
According to the Israeli Broadcasting Authority report, the American general presented his Israeli counterpart with a proposal regarding the possible operation in Rafah.
The report stated that the American proposal includes isolating the city of Rafah from the rest of the Gaza Strip, closing the Rafah crossing with Egypt, forming a joint American-Israeli command room, and carrying out military operations in specific places in the city based on intelligence information.
The Israeli Broadcasting Authority indicated that the conversations between Brown and Halevy took place during the visit of Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant to Washington.
The US Chief of Staff said last Thursday that Israel had not received all the weapons it requested, and said that this was partly because some of them might affect the readiness of the US Army, and there were limits to its capabilities.
