WASHINGTON — The White House is considering options for how to respond if Israel defies President Joe Biden’s repeated warnings against launching a military invasion of Rafah without a credible plan to protect Palestinian civilians, according to one former and three current U.S. officials.
The discussions are taking place amid growing concern in the administration and frustration among congressional Democrats that the president’s pleas will simply be ignored. Israel this week inched closer to initiating an incursion into the southernmost city in the Gaza Strip.
The Biden administration set a March 24 deadline for Israel to provide written assurance, followed by U.S. government review, that its use of American weapons is in accordance with international law. Failing to comply could force the issue of military support and potentially push the longtime alliance into new territory.
Top administration officials indicated Friday they had not seen any plans for the military operation in Rafah that Israel said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had approved, nor had they seen a proposal for the evacuation of Palestinian civilians. For weeks, administration officials have privately expressed skepticism that Israel had developed a thorough plan for a military offensive in Rafah, saying that the threat of an invasion was to maintain leverage with Hamas during negotiations for a cease-fire in exchange for releasing hostages held in Gaza.
Administration officials also have advised the Israeli government to avoid a large military operation in Rafah, and instead launch smaller, targeted counterterrorism missions, according to an administration official.

Biden has accomplished the politically difficult feat of alienating both the Muslims and the Jews.
Do Palestinian civilians protect Israel?

Liberal media once again tries to capture what it wants everyone to believe is the moral high ground by calling it an “invasion”.
In fact, it is a measured and reasonable policing response to a long series of heinous criminal acts by Hamas, with Oct 7 being the most vile and egregious one.
it is not an “invasion”, it is justice.
Odiousbama made the call on Joe the Frontman years ago:
"don't underestimate Joe Biden's ability to F- things up"
Defies Biden? Really? Is Biden Israel’s POTUS?
“”frustration among congressional Democrats that the president’s pleas will simply be ignored””
Hey - Congressional democrats - you are free to book an airline ticket and go over there and help out. Nothing stopping you and nothing like seeing a confrontation up close and personal.
Biden is so out of line here. While he is trying to straighten out the problems from the houthis off shore by providing a strong navy force to attack them for robbing, killing, and stealing of vessel traffic, to include shelling them inland, he is coming down on Israel for doing right about the exact same thing. What he needs to do is stay out of the way with Gaza and let Israel handle their own affairs. Israel didn’t start this, but they can finish it.

Sorry, Biden. We have been dropping bombs in Yemen, Syria, and Iraq...and that was just this year.
I don’t recall Israel signing off on those plans.
They don’t need your permission to survive.
When civilians support the hamas terrorist? Go Israel!

When both sides call you Genocide Joe you know you really screwed up.
No wonder the handjob has such poor, messed up dogs.
Biden may have a red line for Israel......but what will he do? Attack Israel? Send our F-15s to attack Tel-Aviv?
I guess it depends on who's in charge. The Squad would actually do that.
I’m seeing more “news” stories via Yahoo. Yahoo is arguably the worst of the worst. They are on a par with The Guardian and AP. I see “Yahoo” and l stop reading at that point.
Biden cares more about Rafah invasion than the invasion going on in America
So the brilliant Biden handlers pursuing the Muslim vote is willing to give up the Jewish and Christian vote? Smart😂🤣
Biden’s not use to getting his own way. Too bad.
