Israel is reportedly planning to move Palestinians out of Rafah before they invade and they have informed the Biden administration of their plans.
Here’s more from Politico:
The Israeli military has informed aid groups and the Biden administration of a plan to begin removing Gazans from Rafah ahead of an invasion, according to a U.S. official and two other people familiar with the situation.
The Israel Defense Forces recently told the U.S. government and aid groups operating on the ground that they had developed a plan to move people out of Rafah, the main humanitarian hub in the enclave, to al-Mawasi, a small strip of land on the southern Gaza coast. The IDF sent a map of the area to aid workers this week, a copy of which POLITICO obtained.
The Biden administration has repeatedly urged Israel to avoid an invasion of Rafah unless it has a plan to protect civilians sheltering there.
The IDF told aid groups the Rafah invasion will move ahead “soon” but did not give a specific date, the two people familiar said.
The U.S. official cautioned that this is not the “final” plan from the IDF, rather “some of their latest thinking.” A second U.S. official said the Biden administration is not aware of any imminent invasion and that it is still waiting on more details from Israel on exactly how it would move people out of Rafah.
All the people were granted anonymity to detail sensitive internal planning.
Israel is bending over backwards because the Biden administration and others are putting undue and unfair pressure on them with respect to Palestinians. It’s completely asinine but Israel feels like they must comply with these demands because the US is such a strong ally.
Whatever happens, this Rafah invasion needs to happen soon! Hamas must be exterminated.
