The White House on Tuesday indicated an Israeli strike that killed dozens of Palestinians in Rafah did not cross a “red line” that would lead to a change in U.S. policy.

Multiple administration officials in press briefings on Tuesday described the images out of Rafah as “heart-breaking,” “tragic,” and “horrific.” But there was no sign of an impending policy change as a result because it was an airstrike and not a major ground operation.

    There is no red line. Netanyahu could literally kill and eat a Palestinian baby on live TV and nothing would change.

      Especially since we know there are tanks and IDF in Rafah itself as of this weekend. So even the claim that it was “only an airstrike, not a ground invasion” seems like a flat out lie.

        The article I read was shelling from tanks IN Rafah so, it is a ground strike already
