The Biden administration is not planning to punish Israel if it launches a military campaign in Rafah without ensuring civilian safety, the US news outlet Politico has reported.
The report, which cites three anonymous officials in the Biden administration, states that "no reprimand plans are in the works, meaning Israeli forces could enter the city and harm civilians without facing American consequences".
More than half of the Gaza Strip's 2.3 million population has fled to Rafah.
