The U.S. has agreed to back an Israeli operation in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah in exchange for forgoing a major strike on Iran, according to Israeli media.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backtracked on a pre-approved military response to Iran’s massive drone and missile attack due to pressure by U.S. President Joe Biden, Israel’s Kan public broadcaster reported Wednesday.
Biden reportedly told Netanyahu during a phone call on Saturday that Washington would not participate in nor support an Israeli retaliatory attack.
