The White House condemned the civilian casualties from an Israeli airstrike in Rafah but won’t change its support for Israel. National security spokesman John Kirby stated that Israel hadn’t crossed President Biden’s “red line” by avoiding a full-scale ground invasion in Gaza. Israeli PM Netanyahu admitted to a “tragic mishap” in the strike that killed civilians sheltering in tents. International criticism is mounting, with leaders from France, Germany, and Qatar expressing strong disapproval. The U.S. continues its military support for Israel while monitoring the situation and urging Israel to protect civilians.
