The Biden administration has announced that it will not ship bombs to Israel for use in the planned incursion into Rafah, citing concerns about their potential impact on civilians. This decision comes after the detention of a shipment of 1,800 910-kilo bombs and 1,700 225-kilo bombs last week. The official emphasized that the administration is focused on ensuring that the weapons are used appropriately and do not contribute to an escalation of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The United States has expressed opposition to the large-scale offensive being planned by Israeli troops in Rafah and has made it clear that they will not support an attack without a plan to protect civilians. Yesterday, Israel carried out a “limited” operation in Rafah, seizing control of the border crossing with Egypt where humanitarian aid passes through. While this operation appears to be limited, much depends on what comes next as Israel has indicated its intent to conduct a major military operation in the area, which the US opposes.
