Hamas Israel negotiations over? The American response came

The United States says it does not believe that negotiations between Hamas and Israel have ended.

US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller says that the process of releasing prisoners held in Gaza in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israel is still possible.

“We can,” Miller told reporters at a news briefing when asked if a limited military campaign in Rafah could take out the remaining Hamas commanders.

Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel was committed to sending troops to the southern Gaza city of Rafah, home to about 1.5 million Palestinian refugees, and would do so without US support if necessary.

The Biden administration has been urging Israel not to launch an all-out assault on Rafah, warning that such an attack would harm civilians trapped in the city and further isolate Israel internationally, but it is now It also continues to supply weapons to Israel.
