Washington:
US President Joe Biden told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday he was deeply concerned by Israeli plans for a ground operation in Gaza’s Rafah, adding that an offensive would be a “mistake,” the White House said.
Netanyahu had also agreed to Biden’s request to send a delegation of senior Israeli officials to Washington to discuss the plans and a possible “alternative approach,” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said.
