Jerusalem: Israel has addressed many of the concerns of US President Joe Biden regarding the long-planned massive military operation in the southern city of Rafah aimed at eliminating Hamas. A senior official of the Biden administration has given information about this. In talks over the weekend with White House national security adviser Jack Sullivan, Israeli officials made several changes to their plan to intensify operations in Rafah during the seven-month war, the official said on condition of anonymity. Seems to remove the worries. Biden had previously said that he opposed any comprehensive operation in Rafah that did not prioritize the safety of innocent Palestinian civilians.
Israel is serious about American concerns
The official said that the Biden administration did not give the green signal to Israel’s plan, but he said that Israeli officials making changes to the plan shows that they are taking the US administration’s concerns seriously. Meanwhile, the Israeli government will return a camera and broadcast equipment seized from The Associated Press. It took the decision hours after the news organization blocked live broadcasts from Gaza.
violation of media law
Israeli officials had alleged that the news agency violated the country’s new media law by providing the photos to Al Jazeera. After Israel seized AP’s equipment, the Biden administration, news organizations and an Israeli opposition leader condemned the Netanyahu government and put pressure on it to reverse the decision. “I have ordered the cancellation of this action and the return of the equipment to the AP,” Israel’s Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi said on “X” late Tuesday.
Israel’s action continues
Meanwhile, let us also tell you that Israel’s action against Hamas terrorists is continuing. Israeli soldiers raided a terrorist hideout in the West Bank on Tuesday. It was one of the deadliest attacks in the Gaza Strip since the war broke out seven months ago. Regarding the attack, the Israeli Army had said that it had targeted terrorists as part of an operation in the northern West Bank city of Jenin. (AP)
