The US has not seen any Israeli plans "that would convince us that they are about to or imminently going to conduct any kind of major operations in Rafah."

"It [Rafah] is a red line, but I am never going to leave Israel."

An invasion of Rafah "is not imminent... but it will have to be done."

"Those who think we are delaying [the invasion of Rafah] will soon see there is no place we cannot reach."

"The operation in Rafah will happen."

"It will happen, and all that remains to be decided is the method and force."

"We're going to do it. We're going to get the remaining Hamas terrorist battalions in Rafah, which is the last bastion, but we're going to do it."

"If by Ramadan our hostages are not home, the fighting will continue to the Rafah area."

This is the first time since the Gaza war began that the US has halted weapons shipments to Israel, opposing an offensive that threatens over a million Palestinian lives.

It is also reportedly reassessing deliveries of 6.5K Joint Direct Attack Munitions, which transform freefall "dumb bombs" into precision-guided weapons.
