This is the best summary I could come up with:
Mr. Biden’s remarks to MSNBC on Saturday reflected his growing frustration over the situation in Gaza, where the Hamas-run health ministry says well over 30,000 people have been killed since Israel launched its offensive in response to the Palestinian militant group’s Oct. 7 terrorist attack.
Israel has maintained strict military control over all of Gaza’s borders since the war began and has been accused of severely limiting the flow of desperately needed humanitarian aid into the decimated Palestinian territory, where the United Nations says hundreds of thousands of people are facing imminent starvation.
As the humanitarian crisis worsens, Israeli military forces are still preparing to launch a ground operation into the southern Gaza city of Rafah, long a Hamas stronghold where Netanyahu says the U.S. and Israeli-designated terror group still has several combat units.
President Biden was asked over the weekend if Israel ignoring the many warnings from Washington, other Israeli allies and global humanitarian aid agencies against carrying out a Rafah siege would be a red line.
At the Emirati Hospital in Rafah, Ahmed al-Shair, the deputy head of the neonatal intensive care unit, has been monitoring the tiny babies examines being kept alive in the facility’s overcrowded incubators.
In addition to the looming prospect of an Israeli offensive in Rafah, concern over a possible escalation in the five-month war was also mounting Monday as many countries started marking the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
