"Netanyahu and Biden Strategize on Rafah Amid Israel-Hamas War"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to send a delegation to Washington to discuss a planned offensive in Rafah with US officials, following a phone call with President Joe Biden. The US has expressed deep concerns about the potential impact of a major military operation in Rafah, citing humanitarian and strategic reasons. The tension between the two leaders has persisted as the conflict in Gaza continues, with the US urging Israel to consider alternative approaches to targeting Hamas elements in Rafah and securing the Egypt-Gaza border. The call also focused on efforts to provide aid to Gaza amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis, as the Biden administration faces criticism from some Democrats over its support for Israel.
