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 “cares” about his mid-east pipeline deal.
If O’Biden is not able to keep the IDF from wiping out Hamas, that is a blow to the project of instituting the Final Solution 2024. I believe that the extirpation of Israel and everyone in Israel is a real Democrat goal. The Democrats are a totalitarian Party and they are assuming all the historical trappings of the Great Totalitarian Parties of the past.
Turning Rafah into a green zone for Hamas, means the Hamas will move their leaders, hostages, human shields, and offensive weapons to Rafah to attack without counterattack.
The entire Arab world is happy with the Gaza citizens remaining as human shields. There is nowhere for them to evacuate because no one will take them.
Listening to Walter E. Williams, Jr. one day, as he sub’d for G. Gordon Liddy. Willams commented on the First Amendment:
“The Congress shall make no law . . .”
And then Williams paused, then continued:
“They should have stopped right there.”
Always remember that the Biden/Obama regime funded Hamas and the October 7 attack via Iran.
If Israel runs out of sufficient conventional weapons, they will do whatever it takes to survive.
O’Biden has apparently accomplished a part of The Party’s objective. Netanyahu is holding back from the final stroke even as they talk “truce.” The IDF should goo in right now.The longer the wait the more likely that “pier building” force will get between the IDF and Hamas.
Can’t you just imagine the guy splayed out on the diaper
changing stating in the men’s bathroom, with Secret Service
agents looking for the handy wipes?
“Protecting Palestinian civilians” is not the duty, or obligation of the United States. Joe is working for our enemies, and needs to be dealt with accordingly.
The U.S. House of Representatives is derelict in their duty to halt all funding, until order is restored to the nation.
Do what you must do, Israel
Joe can take a hike
Schumer is the type to be running the Triangle Shirtwaist factory...if there was one.
“defies Biden”?
Really? Since when is Biden running the show in Israel? I thought they already had a Prime Minister.
Like Mark Levin says, Biden is the “human wrecking ball”, everything wrecks everything. Can you imagine if Trump was this kind of F up?? The DemoMarxists would be writing up articles of impeachment every week
If you ask me, what Biden “does” is proof positive Obama is behind the scenes calling the shots. Nuclearize his Muslim bros in Iran, don’t enforce sanctions on them and destroy Israel while at the same time open the border to “unwhite” it, and institue commie policies.
I don’t think it’s the
votes they’re worried
about.
There’s thousands of Muslims
in Michigan, Minnesota,
and Texas.
Demonstrations will turn
violent, with possible
terrorist cells being called
to activate. All hell could
break out here.
The Anti Semites in the White Hut do not accept that there are no civilians in Gaza.
None. Zip. Nada.
Similar to the Japanese, one must keep killing them until they tire of dying...and unconditionally surrender.
I don’t doubt it one bit. We are up against GREAT EVIL these days. :(
That medicine they gave Unca Joe to get through the SOTA speech RANT must have REALLY swollen his gonads!

As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
