Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet has notified the White House that it wants to reschedule a canceled meeting regarding the planned Israeli military operation in the southern city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip, NBC television reported today, citing a US official, Reuters reported. , quoted by BTA.
On Monday, Netanyahu said he would not send the delegation after the United States refrained from vetoing a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. According to him, this is a "clear retreat" from the previous US position.
NBC said senior US administration officials are working with Israel to set a date for a meeting.
Last week, the White House said it intended to share with Israeli officials alternatives to eliminating the Palestinian group "Hamas" in Gaza without a ground offensive in Rafah, which Washington says would be a disaster.
