US President Joe Biden calls on Israel to send a delegation to Washington to try to avoid an operation in Rafah. This summons is one of Joe Biden's clearest attempts to slow down Israel, which is considering a major ground offensive.
An offensive on Rafah would be “a mistake,” said US national security adviser Jake Sullivan. The White House confirmed Monday the death last week in Gaza of the deputy head of Hamas' armed wing, Marwan Issa, who becomes the highest-ranking official killed in this territory since the start of the war.
