Joe Biden says a truce “of at least six weeks” in Gaza is under discussion. The American president also indicated that it “must protect” Palestinian civilians in Rafah in the event of an Israeli offensive on this town in the south of the enclave.
“We cannot afford an Israeli attack on Rafah. This would undoubtedly cause another humanitarian catastrophe,” also said the King of Jordan Abdullah II, during a joint speech with Joe Biden. A ceasefire proposal was sent to Hamas at the end of January, which said it was “examining” it.
