Recent reports indicate that Israel is unlikely to conduct a strike against Iran until after the Passover holiday, which runs from April 22 to April 30. This decision aligns with statements from U.S. and Israeli officials, and follows recent developments where Israel canceled planned retaliatory strikes against Iran. Concurrently, discussions have surfaced about a potential Israeli operation in Rafah, Gaza, with some reports suggesting U.S. approval in exchange for Israel limiting its response to Iran. However, U.S. officials have denied these claims, stating there is no truth to reports of a green-lit operation in Rafah as a trade-off for restraint against Iran under the Biden administration.
Israel's apparently limited response to Iran's retaliatory attack will be paid for in Palestinian blood, as Israel will likely barter its restraint for a U.S. green light to invade Rafah. https://t.co/THuv1rR8O6
