Biden administration straddles its own ‘red line’ on Rafah invasion

“If they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons ... to deal with that problem,” Biden said in an interview with CNN earlier this month, three days after Israel Defense Forces began operations on the outskirts of the city. He noted that he had already paused a shipment of 2,000-pound bombs that Israel had used to devastating effect in other urban areas.
