Beden will stop sending weapons if Israel invades Rafah

If they enter Rafah, I will not supply weapons that are historically used to deal with Rafah”, Biden said during an interview for the television network, CNN.

He added that “would continue to commit to Israel's security of”.

But despite strong U.S. opposition, Israel appears to be ready to invade Rafah on a full scale.

He believes that in this city thousands of warriors of the Palestinian Islamic group Hamas, declared terrorist by the US and other powers, are sheltered.

The war between Israel and Hamas began seven months ago after Hamas first attacked the Israelite land, killing over 1,200 people.

Some 35,000 people have been killed in Israel's ongoing revenge offensive in Gaza, according to authorities in enclaves.

Israel's army says victory over Hamas is impossible without taking control of Rafah city.

But American officials warn that the operation in this city has increased with refugees from other parts of Gaza could lead to large numbers of civilian victims.

We will not supply [Israel] with weapons and artillery missiles [if Rafah attacks]”, Biden said in the interview that was broadcast Wednesday.

He said the US does not define the current situation in Rafah as a ground operation.

They haven't gone to population centres. They're right on the 1115x1>, he said.

However, I have made it clear [Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] and the war cabinet, that they will not have our support, if they enter these population centres”, the American president said.

Beden acknowledged that American weapons were used by Israel to kill civilians in Gaza.

Asked whether Israel has passed <x0-line red”, he replied: “No, still”. /rel/
