The US will not support the attack on Rafah that Israel has planned in its current form, State department spokesperson Matthew Miller said.
Miller said the plan still failed to protect the 1.5 million Palestinians sheltering in the southern coastal town.
He said Israel’s plans, including fliers calling on around 100,000 Palestinians in eastern Rafah to leave, were not credible.
“The problem now is there are such limited places for them to go inside Gaza and there is no effective way to distribute aid to them and make sure they have access to shelter, access to sanitation, in the places that they would go.”
