US on Israel’s Rafah war plans and its ‘generous offer’ to Hamas: Marwan Bishara

Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, highlights the official Israeli position of delaying action in Rafah, attributed to pressure from the US and opposition from surrounding Arab countries like Egypt and Jordan. He notes the US-Israel agreement on ending Hamas’ leadership in Gaza, differing on the method. Bishara suggests the US favors targeted attacks over a broad invasion to minimize civilian casualties and displacement while achieving the same outcome. He criticizes the US’s perceived bias toward Israel, citing Secretary Blinken’s characterization of Hamas as the obstacle to a ceasefire. Bishara condemns Blinken’s description of Israel’s position as a “generous offer,“ arguing it does not entail ending the war, bombings, genocide, repression, or occupation.
