The White House is making arrangements for an in-person meeting with senior officials from Israel next week to discuss potential military operations in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. This decision comes after a virtual meeting earlier this week.
During a briefing on Wednesday, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby mentioned that efforts are being made to schedule the in-person meeting for next week. The previous virtual meeting, held on Monday, involved discussions about the situation in Rafah. US officials presented alternative strategies to their Israeli counterparts, aiming to avoid a major ground operation in southern Gaza.
