Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu has once again agreed to schedule and send a delegation for talks with Biden’s team about the Rafah invasion, after cancelling it earlier this week after Biden refused to veto a ceasefire resolution at the UN Security Council.
Here’s the news:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to reschedule his delegation’s visit to the White House after he canceled the trip on Monday, according to a U.S. official.
“The Prime Minister’s office has agreed to reschedule the meeting dedicated to Rafah. We are now working to find a convenient date,” the official told ABC News.
The decision to reschedule comes after several members of President Joe Biden’s Cabinet held “constructive discussions” with Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over the last two days in Washington, D.C., the official said.
“Rafah was one of the many topics discussed with Jake Sullivan, Tony Blinken, Lloyd Austin and Bill Burns,” the official said.
I read somewhere this morning that Netanyahu was sending a message to Hamas when he cancelled the delegation talks. Yeah, that might be true but he was clearly also sending a message to Biden.
