President Biden and Jordan’s King Abdullah II, speaking jointly at the White House Monday, warned against an indiscriminate Israeli invasion of Rafah in southern Gaza, creating an event that had not previously occurred during the Israel-Hamas war--the president standing alongside an Arab leader to voice reservations about the Israeli onslaught in the Palestinian enclave.
“The major military operation in Rafah should not proceed without a credible plan to ensure the safety and support of more than 1 million people sheltering there,” Biden said, referring to Israel’s stated plans to invade the city. “Many people there have been displaced -- displaced multiple times, fleeing the violence to the north. And now they’re packed into Rafah, exposed and vulnerable. They need to be protected.”
Abdullah was more direct. “We cannot afford an Israeli attack on Rafah. It is certain to create another humanitarian catastrophe,” the king said. Referring to the war more broadly, he added, ““We cannot stand by and let this continue. We need a lasting ceasefire now. This war must end."
