White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says the US has seen media reports about an imminent Israeli plan to evacuate Palestinians in Rafah to “humanitarian islands” further north, but he insists that no plan has formally been presented to the Biden administration.
Kirby in a press briefing reiterates that the US will not support an operation in Rafah unless Israel presents a credible plan beforehand for how it will protect the over one million Palestinians sheltering in the southern Gaza city.
