President Biden spoke for half an hour with Prime Minister Netanyahu today (Monday). The President asked for clarifications regarding the emerging Rafah operation and reiterated the administration's "clear position" on such an operation - meaning their consistent objection to it.

Per the White House readout of the talk, the President also insisted the Kerem Shalom crossing be reopened, despite it being closed down yesterday after a projectile strike on IDF forces killing 4 soldiers and wounding 10.

The President also "updated the Prime Minister on efforts to secure a hostage deal, including through ongoing talks today in Doha, Qatar."

Free the hostages? Defeat Hamas? How to achieve victory in Gaza

If you want to topple the Hamas government, you have no choice but to replace it with another, which, even if it is not Zionist and loves Israel, isn't as bad as Hamas. Those who oppose this prove that even today they still view Hamas as an asset.
