US President Joe Biden is scheduled to have a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, according to sources familiar with the call. The call is set to take place this morning before President Biden leaves Wilmington, Delaware to return to the White House.
President Biden's administration is closely monitoring the situation in Rafah, particularly after the Israeli military issued evacuation orders for eastern parts of the city. The White House has expressed significant skepticism regarding any potential incursion into Rafah due to concerns about the potential humanitarian consequences.
Furthermore, the discussion between President Biden and Prime Minister Netanyahu occurs at a time when hostage and ceasefire negotiations have hit a standstill. CIA Director Bill Burns is currently in Doha, Qatar, attempting to revive the talks that have stalled.
