US offers intel on Hamas in exchange for Israel killing less Palestinians in Rafah attack

The Biden administration is allegedly working to stave off a full-scale invasion of Rafah by offering Israel’s military “sensitive intelligence” on Hamas officials, according to a report.

The Washington Post, citing four people familiar with the situation, reports other purported incentives not to launch a major operation in Rafah include information on the location of Hamas’s vast network of tunnels.

The Biden administration, however, has been one of the most important backers of Israel's military onslaught on Gaza which has killed at least 35,000 Palestinians, mostly children and women.

There has been widespread criticism of the Biden administration and whether it has applied any pressure towards Israel to stop its war on Gaza and the catastrophic human toll while still supplying the country with weapons.
