The White House stated that it has not yet received any plan from the Israeli Occupation government regarding the safeguarding of civilians prior to launching significant military operations in Rafah, located in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.

Additionally, the White House emphasized that while Israeli Occupation has the right to defend itself and target Hamas leaders, it must ensure the protection of humanitarian workers and innocent civilians.

Israeli Occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his refusal to yield to international pressure aimed at halting movements in Rafah, affirming his intention to enter the area to dismantle Hamas.

Meanwhile, according to the Washington Post, a senior American official attributed the chaos in Gaza to actions by the Israeli Occupation, holding them accountable for the dire humanitarian situation.

This marks the 160th day of the Israeli Occupation Forces' aggression against Gaza, resulting in the death of 31,272 Palestinians and the injury of 73,024 individuals since October 7.
