US Tells Israel "No Large-Scale Civilian Evacuation Should Occur If Ground Offensive Resumes"

The United States has requested Israel to make efforts to prevent additional large-scale civilian displacement in the Gaza Strip if Israel resumes ground operations, local major media reported on the 28th (local time).

According to major foreign media such as AP, U.S. officials stated that the Biden administration is seeking ways to prevent further large-scale civilian casualties or displacement. One official said that considering the increase in Palestinian deaths and public opinion both internationally and within the U.S., the White House has stepped up pressure on Israel.

Israel and the Palestinian armed faction Hamas agreed to extend the initially planned four-day temporary ceasefire by two days, postponing the end of the ceasefire to 7 a.m. on the 30th. Israel has expressed its intention to resume ground operations in the Gaza Strip as soon as the temporary ceasefire ends.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said during a call with U.S. President Joe Biden on the 26th, "Once the temporary ceasefire ends, we will fully resume military operations in the Gaza Strip." After the ceasefire period, Israel is expected to continue fighting in the southern Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, the U.S. has decided to send relief supplies such as medical goods, food, and winter items for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, local media reported. The U.S. government plans to send three military aircraft to Egypt starting on the 28th to provide humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. This is the first time the U.S. has sent humanitarian supplies to the Gaza Strip by military aircraft since the war began last month.
