Israel’s Rafah offensive plan not satisfactory to us

White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan expressed concern on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” about the potential for Israel to conduct a military operation in Rafah. Sullivan emphasized the importance of humanitarian assistance and civilian protection in Gaza and highlighted the challenges that a major military operation in Rafah would pose for the aid flow and shelter of over a million people. He stated that the US will continue to communicate their concerns to the Israeli government and make decisions based on American values and interests. The US position on this issue remains clear, and Israel understands their stance. Sullivan affirmed that decisions will be made in the best interests of the American people and consistent with American values.
