Israeli attack on Rafah has US blessing – media

Washington has reportedly given Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “several days” to achieve a symbolic victory in the Palestinian city

Israel’s invasion of Rafah is being carried out “with full American coordination,” Qatari news site Al Araby reported on Tuesday. While Washington has publicly refused to back the operation, Al Araby’s sources say the White House gave Israel the green light so it could score a symbolic victory before signing a ceasefire deal.
