Isaac Chotiner speaks with John Kirby, the National Security Council spokesman, who says that U.S. support for an extended ceasefire may not translate to an endorsement of an end of hostilities.
In the coming weeks, the Israeli military plans to invade the southern city of Rafah, where more than a million people are sheltering. The Biden Administration has cautioned the Israelis to allow civilians to evacuate. On Sunday, Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said that a ceasefire would not affect the plans of invasion. “If we have a deal, it’ll be delayed somewhat. But it’ll happen,” he said. “If we don’t have a deal, we’ll do it anyway.
What does that mean, if they understand it, and they’ve been receptive, but the results are not happening? Results across the board are still not where we want them to be, but that doesn’t mean that they haven’t tailored or modified their operations in keeping with our lessons learned and our advice and our counsel. There have been some changes that we urged them to do, like opening up Kerem Shalom, like relying less on air power. I could go on and on. Those have made a difference.
