Rubin on Rafah: There’s Direct Channels on an Intelligence Level with Israel to Make Sure this Operation Doesn’t Cause Mass Civilian Casualty

‘The Biden team has been calling for some time for Israel to be effective in getting at the Hamas leadership’

RUSH EXCERPT:
RUBIN: "Think this is consistent with what the Biden team has been calling for for some time that for Israel to be effective in getting at the Hamas leadership which they believe is in or near rafah, they will need to be targeted in terms of the attacks and to be targeted means that use intelligence and going with these strikes. This is where President Biden differs from the prime minister because the president views the idea that somehow we could just watch Israel bomb indiscriminately all of rafah which would seal the deal has proven not to be the case across Gaza. There needs to be a more pointed effort. Think the talks will continue. There is direct channels on a daily basis on an operational level as well as the intelligence level and the diplomatic level with Israel to make sure this operation was born in a way that does not cause mass civilian casualty and gets to the intended targets."
