"Israeli Delegations Navigate Tensions in Washington Amid Gaza War Misgivings"

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant visits Washington for talks with the Biden administration on weapons and U.S. support amid strained relations over Israel’s campaign in Gaza. The U.S. has sent over 100 weapons deliveries to Israel since the war began, but Vice President Harris warned against a potential Israeli military operation in Rafah, a city in southern Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed intentions to enter Rafah, while world opinion increasingly opposes such a campaign. The U.S. has requested the visit of another Israeli delegation to address concerns about Israel’s Rafah planning and lay out an alternative approach.
