US tells Israel it will not support Rafah offensive: ‘It would be a disaster’
I can tell you we’ve seen no plans that would convince us that they are U about to or imminently going to conduct any kind of major operations in Rafa um I think you all know more than a million Palestinians are are U Sheltering in and around Rafa uh that’s where they were
Told to go U there’s a lot of displaced people there and the Israeli military has a special obligation as they conduct operations there or anywhere else to make sure that their fact ing in protection for uh for innocent civilian life particularly you know civilians that were were pushed into Southern Gaza
By operations further north conun and and North Gaza uh I could tell you that absent any full consideration uh of protecting civilians at that scale in Gaza um military operations right now would be a disaster for those people and it’s not something that we would support has the US communicated everything that
You just said about protecting civilians to Israel secretary blinkin uh in his meetings with the uh Israeli leaders and the Prime Minister and the war cabinet uh made clear our concerns
The US national security spokesperson has warned Israel against conducting an offensive against Rafah, the last refuge of Palestinians fleeing the Israeli army’s assault on Gaza. John Kirby said the US would not support an attack on the southern town. He added that the secretary of state, Antony Blinken, had expressed his concern to Israeli officials during his recent visit.

Well, Israel started bombing Rafah an hour ago. Western media is quiet.
America want blood of Palestine people in rafah ,,,,israel is doing everything order from USA,,,,,its drama from blinken biden and usa
This didn’t age well
wow that’s crazy
Stop funding this genocide
No HAMAS in Rafah.. What Mean That I5RAEL ATTACK..?? 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤪🤪👎🏼👎🏼 Shame ICJ Jugdement Not Function.. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
USA: “Nooooo don’t do it Israel pleeease!”
Also USA: *gives Israel all the bombs to do it”
Concerning that 2 days out from the attack on Rafah that this dude doesn't seem to have "any indication" of an operation.
"of course we communicate to Israel..but they dont listen. Such a brat child. Pls be nice to me and lets pray for those about to die.."
2 days later – 2 elderly hostages rescued from… Rafah. 134 hostages left.
So what do you say now sir?
And now that they did? A slap on the wrist?
They massacred Rafah. Body parts all around. Babies heads being collected by distressed parents… family massacred all at once. Bodies piled up. Blood bath. Childrens body parts scattered…
The fact that the media is sensored and these innocent human beings will not even be acknowledged should say enough …
And People ask why Arabs hate America
Because America considers that the life of an Arab person is less than the life of an Israeli, European, or American person.
This matter appeared in the Western media and their dirty racism when the Russia-Ukraine war took place
world war 3
USA & Israel are partners in Palestinian Genocide.

They just talk nonsense we knew the deal behind in black out supporter waaw
What is happening today in Gaza is a crime against humanity and the supporters of this criminal regime are the United States and some Western countries, a lot of hypocracy. Israel: 75 years of occupation and slavery do not mean the right to self-defense NO Financial support poorly used in Israel
