As the Biden administration urgently works to prevent a large-scale Israeli offensive in Gaza’s Rafah, a report in The Washington Post says the Biden administration “is offering Israel valuable assistance if it holds back, including sensitive intelligence to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders and find the group’s hidden tunnels.”
