The Egyptian Army Is Preparing To Protect Sinai, And Sisi Threatens
The American newspaper “Politico” published a report stating that the United States of America secretly told “Israel” what type of Rafah operation it could support. The American report stated, “Senior American officials told their Israeli counterparts that the Biden administration will support Israel in pursuing high-value Hamas targets in and below Rafah, as long as Israel avoids a large-scale invasion.” Citing military intelligence from high-ranking White House and administration officials, “some key members of the Biden team doubt that Israel aims to conduct a major military operation in Rafah soon.”
A Defense Ministry official said, according to the newspaper: “They will have to do some repositioning of forces, and this has not happened, and it is not imminent.” Three days ago, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said, “Washington has not received from the Israeli government a plan regarding Rafah,” indicating that the US administration’s position is that “we should not go south and complicate human suffering.”
Miller added, in a press conference, that “Washington’s position is that entry into Rafah should be based on a clear plan to deliver humanitarian aid,” noting that “in the absence of that, the responsibility falls on the Israeli side to provide what was requested of it by the American administration.” He pointed out that “the temporary port has emerged as another way to deliver humanitarian aid, given that the crossings are not yet safe,” he claimed.
The US State Department spokesman confirmed that his country supports “Israel’s right to defend itself, and is awaiting receipt of the details of the Israeli plan regarding the upcoming Rafah operation.” It is noteworthy that US President Joe Biden confirmed on Saturday that he will never abandon “Israel”, in a new indication that reveals the extent of the contradiction of the American positions regarding Gaza, and the extent of Washington’s support for the aggression against the Gaza Strip despite some of the “statements of a humanitarian nature” that it has made. Every now and then.
In an interview with MSNBC, in response to a question about whether the Israeli military operation in Rafah would be a red line for him and Netanyahu, Biden said, “It is a red line, but I will never abandon Israel.” . The contradictory American statements reveal the extent of American hypocrisy, which is evident in the American administration resorting to humanitarian headlines, at a time when it could end the suffering of the residents of the Gaza Strip, by pressuring the occupying entity to stop the aggression, and freezing its military and financial aid to the occupation “army” that causes this suffering and continues. Carrying out genocide against the residents of the Gaza Strip.
