Rafah is “Hamas’s last stronghold in Gaza,” where “thousands of militants as well as senior leaders are based.” Human shields characterize Hamas operations. Global pressure should be on Hamas and its international operatives, not on Israel. Israel has tried to evacuate citizens from Rafah, but the jihadist-infiltrated UN has blocked such efforts. UN Relief Chief Martin Griffiths not only admitted that he does not consider Hamas to be a terrorist group, but he also stated that the Israelis did all they could, “to their credit,” to evacuate Gazans to a safe location. However, “Griffith did not mention the two hostages the IDF rescued from Rafah, proving that Hamas was carrying out their illegal activities within a heavily populated civilian area.”
Israel rightly states that “leaving Rafah untouched would allow Hamas to retain control of parts of Gaza, exploit tunnels to Egypt and quickly rebuild its forces in the future.”
“Biden warns Netanyahu against ‘mistake’ of invading Rafah: White House,” Al Jazeera, March 18, 2024:
Washington, DC – The United States has issued its strongest public warning yet to Israel against invading the crowded city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip, saying that such a ground operation would deepen the humanitarian crisis in the besieged enclave.
US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters on Monday that, while President Joe Biden remains committed to the goal of defeating Hamas, he communicated to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that a major assault on Rafah would be a “mistake”.
“It would lead to more innocent civilian deaths, worsen the already dire humanitarian crisis, deepen the anarchy in Gaza and further isolate Israel Internationally,” Sullivan said….

The big mistake would be if Netanyahu listens to Biden. I hope and pray Netanyahu does not capitulate to the Obama controlled US administration, which should probably read Robert Spencer and other islamuc scholars like Dr.Mordechai Kedar to get a grasp on what is going on in the Middle East.
Stay strong and on course. No time to waste.
I say march on to Rafah and finish the job.

That terrible “advise” of Joe Biden should be disregarded, as in “brushed off” by the authorities of the State of Israel, about not allowing the Israel Defense Force to enter Rafah and rescue those Israeli hostages who have been kidnapped by Hamas.
For the horrible reality is that taking into account the brutal cruel malicious Islamic character of the jihadists of Hamas, those hostages who had been kidnapped did suffer unconscionable abuse from those horrendously sadistic viciousness which also includes the cold blooded murder of Hamas hostages by the jihadists of that horrendously evil jihad entity , Hamas the soldiers of the Israel Defense Force did the right thing by rescuing those hostages.
Such horrific treatment of those hostages is of no surprise when taking into account the demonic brutal cruel religion that Hamas has its foundation on, which of course is Islam, Surah 5:33. 9:123.
that demonic and murderous jihad entity, Hamas, has no limits, at all, to its horrendously horrific heinous vile evils that it so maliciously commits.
In other words, that demonic jihad entity, Hamas, with is jihadists, have no limits, at all, to its cruel heinous and vile horrendously horrific vile and heinous Islamic evils that it so maliciously and murderously commits.
Walter Sieruk says
The officials of the government of the State of Israel have shown wisdom by their disregard for the horrifically awful “advice” of Joe Biden to not enter Rafah to free the Israeli hostages of Hamas. All informed people will understand that Biden doesn’t have care about the citizens of Israel or about Israel herself, Biden only cares pleasing Abbas of the PA and that tyrant/president Rasis of that hostile anti-Israel Islamic regime of Iran.
Those heroic soldiers of the Israel Defense Force did the right thing by entering Fafah and rescuing those two Israeli hostages from those vicious murderous Muslim savages of Hamas. Saving them their lives from those cruel and vicious Hamas jihadists.
The IDF rescuing the Israeli citizens who had been brutally captured by Hamas is one important part in in this war of self-defense.
As the fifth President of the United States, James Monroe, wisely, had declared “The right to self-defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to individuals.”
Michael Paul Skok says
Every day Biden is in the White House is a mistake.
