The White House has confirmed that Israel has agreed to consider U.S. concerns before proceeding with any military operation in the border city of Rafah, Gaza. This decision comes after a U.S. official mentioned to the New York Times that President Biden would consider restricting certain arms sales to Israel if it launched a major operation in Rafah. White House National Security spokesperson, John Kirby, emphasized that Israel has assured the U.S. it will not initiate the operation until the U.S. has had the opportunity to share its perspectives and concerns.
