President Joe Biden has requested Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to send a team of top Israeli officials to Washington in an effort to prevent a potential large-scale ground invasion of Rafah. The Biden administration is concerned that such an invasion could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe.
The meeting between Biden and Netanyahu, scheduled for early next week, aims to address the situation in Rafah. However, there are indications that despite Biden's warnings, Netanyahu is still considering entering the southern Gaza city.
