The White House said that if Israel goes into Gaza, it would strengthen Hamas, a group that fights against Israel. They think that if there is a big ground operation in a place called Rafah, Hamas will not want to talk peace. This comment was made after President Biden talked about stopping weapons from going to Israel if they fight in Rafah. The White House also mentioned that Hamas and Israel are talking in Egypt.

Israel sees winning in Rafah as very important in their fight against Hamas. The Defense Minister of Israel talked about standing strong against enemies and said they will achieve their goals. Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu promised to fight with all they have. They also said they have enough weapons for their plans in Rafah.
People in the U.S. did not like President Biden’s threat to stop giving weapons to Israel. Both a Republican and a Democrat disagreed with this idea. It is important for the U.S. to help its friends like Israel in their fight against terrorism.
It is concerning to see the White House suggest that Israel should not defend itself against terrorist groups like Hamas. The safety and security of Israel should always be a top priority for the United States. President Biden’s threat to withhold weapons from Israel is misguided and dangerous. It is crucial for the U.S. to support Israel in its fight against terrorism, not hinder its ability to defend itself.
