"Biden Urges Netanyahu to Ensure Civilian Protection in Rafah Operation"
TL;DR
President Biden cautioned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against proceeding with a planned military operation in Rafah, urging a credible plan to ensure the safety of over 1 million civilians sheltering there. The call also focused on the need to work towards a potential hostage deal with Hamas, as negotiators from Israel, Egypt, Qatar, and the United States are working on a proposal for a cessation of hostilities in exchange for the release of Israelis abducted by Hamas during the October attack.
