"Israel's Rafah Offensive: Biden's Moment of Truth and US Policy Focus"

President Biden faces a critical juncture as Israel plans to invade the southern Gaza city of Rafah, leading to unprecedented disapproval of Israel's actions among Americans, particularly Democrats. Growing Democratic anger with Israel's government, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has been evident in recent political events and statements from prominent figures like Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Biden has modulated his rhetoric and facilitated a UN Security Council resolution calling for a cease-fire in Gaza, but his response to a potential invasion of Rafah remains uncertain, with his political fate potentially hinging on his handling of the situation.
