    A senior official told The New Arab that “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu managed to obtain American approval for a military operation in Rafah, in exchange for [Israel] refraining from carrying out a wide military operation against Iran in response to its recent attack.”

    This is insane, goes to show how much power the US has over Israeli military operations. US approval for genocide, what a strong finger wag.

      I’m not normally a “strong leader” guy, but Biden admin is looking mighty weak right now. Crazy how we are basically being told “capitulation to dictatorships is the adult option actually. Fucking babies”
