President Biden<\/a>\u00a0called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday to warn him against moving on the Gaza city of Rafah.<\/p>\n

The president reportedly warned Netanyahu against continuing with plans to invade Rafah, the last\u00a0stronghold of Hamas<\/a>\u00a0in the region.<\/p>\n

The two world leaders reportedly spoke for approximately 30 minutes, during which Biden raised the issue of the more than 1.5 million Palestinians currently living in Rafah.<\/p>\n

“The president doesn\u2019t want to see operations in Rafah that put at greater risk the more than a million people that are seeking refuge there,” said White House national security spokesman John Kirby.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day,\u00a0Israel\u2019s Defense Forces<\/a>\u00a0ordered an evacuation of Rafah, signaling that a long-promised ground operation could be imminent.<\/p>\n
