"Biden Urges Netanyahu to Avoid Civilian Casualties in Potential Rafah Offensive"

US President Joe Biden warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against launching an operation on the Gaza Strip city of Rafah without a plan to protect civilians. The US, Israel's main ally, is reportedly working with Arab countries on a comprehensive peace plan for Israel and the Palestinians, including a timeline for a Palestinian state. Israeli forces stormed a hospital in southern Gaza, leading to casualties, while casualty figures from Gaza's health ministry are being scrutinized for lack of distinction between civilians and combatants.
