US President Joe Biden is scheduled to receive Jordanian King Abdullah II in Washington on Monday, hours after the Israeli occupation committed a series of massacre in Rafah in which over 100 people were martyred.
The two leaders are expected to center their discussions on aid delivery to Gaza and efforts to reach a new captive-prisoner exchange deal amid the anticipated Israeli invasion of Rafah.
This marks the highest level meeting between the allies since the drone attack last month targeting a US base, allegedly in northeast Jordan, which killed three American soldiers, as regional Resistance groups escalate their operations in response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza and Washington’s active role in it.
The Rafah Massacre
About 1.4 million Palestinians have crowded into Rafah, with many living in tents while food, water, and medicine are becoming increasingly scarce.
Our correspondent reported early Monday that Israeli warplanes launched over 50 airstrikes on the densely-populated city, noting that the occupation forces used internationally prohibited incendiary missiles in its airstrikes.
According to the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS), the Israeli airstrikes targeted populated homes, warning that this conduct signals a major catastrophe.
Hamas representative in Lebanon Ahmad Abdul Hadi told Al Mayadeen earlier that a ground offensive against Rafah would prompt major reactions in the region and would escalate the war beyond what the United States desires.
He indicated that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s threats regarding Rafah are, in part, aimed at “forcing the resistance compromise on its conditions.”
