Rafah Crisis: Netanyahu vows to go alone after Biden blocks arms supply

In a bold move, President Joe Biden has announced a halt to the delivery of specific American weapons to Israel, aimed at preventing their use in the densely populated areas of Rafah. Despite this, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains unwavering, vowing to continue the military operations against Hamas, which he labels as the “new Nazis.” This escalation comes as over 1.4 million people in Rafah face severe risks, with the area already suffering from a significant humanitarian crisis. This episode of #FirstThingsFast delved into the implications of this standoff on regional stability and the dire situation for civilians caught in the crossfire.
