Biden once again 'reiterated his clear position on Rafah' during his call with Netanyahu, according to a brief readout of the call provided by the White House.
The prime minister has vowed to go into Rafah despite opposition from the U.S.President Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a short time ags as the Israeli military is warning more than 100,000 people to evacuate Rafah.
Israel Defense Forces on Monday urged 100,000 people in the southern Gaza city to evacuate and dropped flyers warning of danger. More than 1.4 million Palestinians are thought to be sheltering in Rafah in the wake of Israel's bombardment of the Gaza Strip. The White House also said last week it had not seen a comprehensive plan for protecting civilians if Israel's military were to move into Rafah -- a plan U.S. officials have repeatedly called for."We will destroy the Hamas battalions there, we will complete all the objectives of the war, including the repatriation of all our hostages," Netanyahu said last week.
At least 12 Palestinians were killed in IDF strikes on Rafah on Sunday, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry. Israel's military said it continued strikes on Monday on "terror targets" and military structures.
