White House: Major Rafah Operation Won't Defeat Hamas

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre holds a briefing at the White House in Washington

The White House has made a statement regarding the major operation in Rafah, emphasizing that it will not lead to the defeat of Hamas. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinians has escalated tensions in the region, with the United States closely monitoring the situation.

The operation in Rafah, a city in the southern Gaza Strip, is part of Israel's efforts to target Hamas militants. However, the White House has expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of such a military operation in achieving long-term peace and stability.

While acknowledging Israel's right to defend itself, the White House has called for a de-escalation of violence and a return to negotiations to address the root causes of the conflict. The United States remains committed to supporting a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The situation in the region remains volatile, with civilian casualties mounting on both sides. The White House has urged all parties to prioritize the protection of civilians and to refrain from actions that could further escalate the violence.

As the conflict continues to unfold, the international community is closely watching developments in the region. The White House has reiterated its support for a two-state solution, emphasizing the need for both Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace and security.

Despite the ongoing military operations, the White House remains hopeful that a diplomatic solution can be reached to end the cycle of violence and pave the way for a lasting peace in the region.
