Israel has agreed to listen to US concerns and opinions before launching an invasion of the town of Rafah in Gaza, White House National Security spokesman John Kirby said.
He, speaking of ABC, also said Israel has begun to fulfil the commitments it made to the American president, Joe Biden, of allowing aid in northern Gaza.
Israel has signalled that it plans to continue with a ground operation south of Rafah, the only part of Gaza where it has not sent troops.
More than half of the Palestinian territory's population of 2.3 million people has sought refuge in Rafah after fleeing Israeli bombings in other countries.
The long-anticipated plan to attack the city has drawn strong opposition from Israeli allies, including the US, which said it would cause thousands of civilian casualties and would further undermine aid shipments.
Beden has earlier warned that Israel should not enter Rafah without reliable plans to protect civilians, writes The Guardian.
