Biden 'is offering Israel top secret intelligence detailing exact locations of Hamas leaders and their hidden tunnels in bid to stave off full-scale invasion of Rafah'
Daily Mail ^ | 5/11/24 | James Gordon

Biden administration officials are said to be offering Israel exact locations of Hamas leaders in a bid to stop the IDF invading the Gazan city of Rafah.

The president has reportedly offered highly-classified information that also includes the locations of Hamas' secret tunnels to try and stave-off what he fears could be a humanitarian catastrophe.

The detailed and sensitive talks serve to illustrate the stakes facing Israel and the U.S. Rafah is the last city in Gaza that has not been bombed by Israel.

According to the Washington Post, the U.S. is also proposing to assist in the construction of thousands of shelters to create tent cities and help with the setting up of delivery systems for vital supplies like food, water, and medicine.

This support will help ensure that 1.3 Palestinians that fled and were already evacuated from other parts of Gaza under Israeli orders and now sheltering in Rafah have access to livable conditions, rather than being exposed to further hardship.

Israel has promised an invasion using 'extreme force' - something the Biden administration is particularly concerned about, particularly given the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. The current goal is to essentially prevent unnecessary destruction and minimize harm to civilians.

Israeli says it must go into Rafah in order to complete the job of wiping out Hamas.

But the job is easier said than done as destroying city's extensive underground tunnel network where many Hamas fighters and leaders are based, would endanger the lives of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians.

'We have serious concerns about how Israel has prosecuted this campaign, and that could all come to a head in Rafah,' a senior administration official said.

“... support will help ensure that 1.3 Palestinians that fled”

Paging a copy editor. Please pick up the White phone.

So, when it comes to Gaza and Hamas, who do you trust more, the CIA or Mossad?

I think what the US is offering is low value.

Getting an up to date position of HAMAS leaders does not prevent them from bugging out for other locations, because it takes months to set up an operation where you can take them out.

I’m guessing our top secret intelligence is far inferior to Israels.

Our intelligence officials are more concerned with patriotic MAGA supporters and how to correctly say pronouns.

Yea. What intel does Biden have that Israelis don’t? Oh right, Biden’s national defense advisor is a Hamas terrorist.

LOL. Just WH spin to offset the withholding of weapons from Israel. No doubt this was a calculated leak from the WH.

Why didn't the Mossad warn us about 9/11?

Their spies were following and watching the hijackers.

don’t believe this....it’s media false flags to make Bibi and co look bad.

Do you REALLY believe that the same USA that allowed 20 hijackers to train for 9/11 on USA soil, suddenly knows precisely where Sinwar and Deif are hiding out, but the Israeli’s themselves can’t figure it out?

Yes, Israel already has a very good beat on where they are hiding out. I can’t imagine the US has any shattering intel that Israel doesn’t have access to regarding Hamas

I agree. Israel is in a far better position to know.

Yet after Oct 7, some people here were attacking the CIA for not warning Israel about the attack.

There can only be a “humanitarian disaster” if there are normal “humans” present. If Hamas were normal humans, they would not be the subhuman savages who needed to be completely destroyed. Half measures will not stop Hamas.

I have trouble believing we have better intel about Hamas than Israel has.
