Hoping this is part of a larger diplomatic strategy to secure a ceasefire. If Israel actually attacks Rafah, the civilian death toll will be catastrophic, and it will turn allies into enemies.

This is the line that must not be crossed. The civilians retreated to this last point. Attacking it is genocide.

That's already happened while Americans were watching the superbowl, at the same time congress approved another 14.1 billion dollar package to Israel. That's in addition to 14.5 billion dollars that was sent since October 2023 in addition to the 3.8 billion dollars the U.S. sends every year.

US has no interest in a ceasefire, it's too easy to launder public money to weapons manufacturers.

This like trying to draw a line over your shoes while standing on the edge of a cliff ..... move the line or yourself any further and you're free falling.
