The Biden administration is assessing whether an Israeli airstrike in Rafah, which killed at least 45 displaced Palestinians in a tent camp, violated President Biden's 'red line' that prohibits strikes causing mass civilian displacement. Despite the tragic loss of life, the White House has indicated that the strike did not cross the 'red line' and has no plans to change its policy or halt military assistance to Israel. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby emphasized that the U.S. is deeply saddened by the loss of life and has urged Israel to take every precaution to protect civilians. The administration is closely monitoring the Israeli investigation into the incident but maintains its support for Israel. The strike reportedly killed nearly 50 people, including the elderly and children.
