The White House is urging Israel to connect their military operations to a “clear” end game for Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas, emphasizing the need for a strategic political plan for the future of Gaza and the Palestinian people. White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan highlighted the importance of ensuring a lasting defeat of Hamas and creating a better alternative future for Gaza.
Sullivan emphasized that without a comprehensive political strategy accompanying military efforts, there is a risk of terrorists regrouping and posing a continued threat to Israel. The White House has made it clear that it does not support a large-scale invasion of Rafah in southern Gaza, stressing the necessity of aligning military actions with a post-conflict governance and security plan.
