Biden reiterates to Netanyahu his opposition to the operation in Rafah without 'protection' for civilians (White House)

President Joe Biden warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a phone call on Thursday against launching an operation in the city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip without a plan to ensure the safety of civilians. 

The White House said in a statement that Biden ''reiterated his position that a military operation should not take place without a reliable and implementable plan to ensure the security of civilians in Rafah.''
