President Joe Biden said that if Israel attacks Rafah, where Palestinian civilians have gathered to escape the bombs of the Israeli army, that would be a red line. Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu says that Israel will blow right past that red line and further will accept no red lines, full stop.
“We’ll go there. We’re not going to leave. You know, I have a red line. You know what the red line is, that October 7 doesn’t happen again. Never happens again,” Netanyahu said to Politico.
President Biden said that Israel must protect Palestinian civilians in his State of the Union speech last week but Israel dismisses that need. President Netanyahu says that people are not starving to death in Gaza.
“We don’t have that kind of information. That’s not the information we have. And we monitor it closely,” he said.
Israel has barred journalists from entering Gaza to cover these attacks.
So what will the U.S. do now? Still, send weapons even as Israel flippantly crosses the red line?
